Description: | Fragment of Roman enamelled copper alloy (probably) trumpet brooch, consisting of the lower bow, foot and catchplate. The fragment is 25mm in length.The foot is D-shaped but plain on the underside. It has a rib just below the ankle and three ribs just above it. Above this are five horizontal lozenge shaped cells within a rectangular field, up to the (old) break, which shows the bow is triangular in section and 7mm wide. The bottom four cells still retain traces of a royal blue enamel and around them in the triangles that are created where the lozenge tips touch the side of the rectangle, are traces of red enamel.The catchplate extends behind the bow at the break for 3mm before it drops in a curve. the curl is somewhat damaged and it extends backwards max.12.5mm.Weighs 6.60g. The foot, catchplate and style of the bow suggest this is probably part of a Trumpet brooch, 1st-2nd century.
