Description: | Roman copper alloy trumpet brooch, 56mm long, 14mm wide and 24mm thick. The object is in fair condition with a green patina and weighs 13.36grams. The brooch has a round head which is decorated with a flower like motif consisting of triangular protrusions in a recessed circle. The reverse of the head contains a hollow circular shaft which has a central slit to hold the pin. The pin has a triangular head and is almost intact, but missing some of its surface in its lower part. The bow is sub-triangular and its upper part contains the usual 'acanthus scroll' which is 8mm wide and quite worn. Above and below this is a slight recesss bordered by three horizontal incised lines. The lower part of the bow is distinctly triangular and is decorated with two lines of recessed triangles which would have held enamel. The base of the bow is slightly bent and contains an almost spherical terminal. The cathplate which is 26 mm long is partially intact and has the faint trace of a curled edge.
