Description: | Incomplete copper alloy and enamel Roman trumpet brooch, missing its spring and pin and with a damaged catchplate and warped bow.The trumpet head is decorated with three pointed oval shapes in blue glass/ enamel. Below the end two of these is a ?black enamel triangle. Behind the head is a broken loop which would have held the spring mechanism and possible chain loop.The bow extends outwards and downwards to the frontal acanthus decoration. After this the bow narrows and has tiny triangular cells either side of a central mid-rib for half of the way down to the foot, which is circular with a central pellet and presumably one filled with enamel. The catchplate extends to the reverse but is broken and jagged. All original patina is missing, the extent of which is shown by the enamelled areas standing proud of the brooch as it is.The brooch is 49.5mm in length, the head 11.6mm wide and it weighs 7.18g. 1st-2nd century.
