Description: | Cast copper alloy bow brooch fragment, length 26mm, width 11mm, thickness 15mm, weight 2.91g. Only the lower section of the leg remains this gradually expands towards that foot. The foot has a double collar before a looped terminal, the botom of which has broken away. Similar brooches with loop terminal foots have been recorded in Hattatt (2000, 329) and have been classed as a trumpet brooch. The catch plate on the reverse is complete, the leg is broken near the top of the catch plate. Overall the artefact is in a poor condition, much of the surface is encrusted so little detail remains. This is probably the foot of a trumpet brooch that dates to the second century. Hattatt R, 2000, A Visual Catalogue of Richard Hattatt's Ancient Brooches, Oxbow Books.
