Description: | cast copper alloy Roman brow brooch. Mis-shapen and appears to have possibly been melted by heat. The form of the expanded head suggests it is probably a derivative of the trumpet type. A projection at the top of the head is indicative of either the remains of a head loop or a forward projecting lug that one held the chord of the spring. Thye spring is present but very corroded. The fact that a spring was fitted suggests that the mis-shaping of the brooch occured after manufacture and is not due to fault during casting.
