Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy Trumpet brooch dating to the 1st - 2nd century AD. All that survives of the brooch is part of the bow, the foot and the catchplate. The bow has been decorated with moulded decoration. Three collars make up the uppermost decoration on the surviving fragment. The upper and lower collar comprise three projecting triangles. The middle collar is plain. Below this moulding is a further collar, and then the lower part of bow extends down, tapering to the foot. The front of the bow has two facets. The foot is decorated with three collars. The catchplate survives in full. The pin is missing. The surface of the metal survives in a very good condition and it is a light brownish-green colour.
