Description: | A complete cast copper-alloy roman trumpet brooch. The trumpet head is semicircular and terminates in a flat plate with an integral solid chain loop. Behind the flat head is a hinge pin mechanism with an incomplete copper-alloy pin. It is possible that the axis bar is iron since there is some iron corrosion around the mechanism. Midway down the bow is a moulded acanthus button with a plain rib above and below it. The button has three moulded acanthus leaves at the top and three at the bottom of a midway rib. The leg has a frontal central ridge and diminishes to a foot knob. Just above the foot is a vertical rib. The complete catchplate has a length of 22.6mm and a width of 8.5mm. The overall length of the brooch is 45.9mm, the width is 18.3mm and the weight is 6.22g.
