Description: | Cast copper-alloy Trumpet-derivative brooch. The trumpet head has an engraved line around the outer edge, and a small head loop; now broken. The short upper bow is rectangular-sectioned and expands into a sub-square disc with a raised central circular moulding which has a copper-alloy pellet at centre and the recess around it is infilled with red enamel. The outer edges of the plate are slightly concave. The flat, foot has a slightly D-shaped section and terminates in a foot-loop, with the two slightly bulbous terminals (like a penannular brooch) meeting at the bottom centre. There is a white metal strip down the centre of the head and the foot, and circular patches on either side. The sprung pin of three turns is secured with a copper-alloy axis and is housed in a semi-cylindrical spring-case. Half of the pin survives, and the shallow catchplate is intact. Pale green patina. Similar to an example from Stonea (MacCreth 317 no. 50 fig. 97)
