Description: | An almost complete cast copper-alloy Roman Trumpet Brooch. Behind the hollow rounded head is a spring pin mechanism. In the centre is a perforated rearward lug to take the copper-alloy axis bar and the spring pin has an internal chord with six turns. On the top of the head is the remains of a rearward hook. The trumpet head is plain except for an incomplete ridge around its perimeter and the arched bow expands midway to a worn acanthus moulded button with three knurled rubs above and below. The leg is triangular in section and tapers towards the foot, which is now missing. The catchplate is also incomplete and has a length of 30.0mm and a surviving width of 10.3mm. The brooch is very worn around the central button and most of the original dark green patina has worn away. The length of the brooch is 54.9mm, the width is 27.0mm and the weight is 19.34.
