Description: | Roman copper alloy bow brooch of Trumpet type and dating to the late 1st or 2nd century AD. The brooch is unlikely to have held enamel, although there are deep cast decorative grooves on the lower bow. The pin is missing, but the spring is present and is made of iron, it was secured by the use of two side lugs. The chain loop has broken at the head. The head is D-shaped and has simple incised decoration. The upper bow is of sub-triangular section with curvilinear incised decoration. The button has eroded and may have been acanthus, or may have been a simpler moulding. The lower bow is decorated with two deep cast S-scrolls on each side. The foot, if present, has eroded. The remnants of the catch-plate are present, beginning at the rear of the button.
