Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy Roman Trumpet Derivative Brooch. Behind the head is a semi-tubular moulding which conceals the hinged pin mechanism. Only visible is the remains of a copper-alloy pin which is broken at the moulding. On the top of the rectangular head is an integral chain loop with a moulding of two ribs below it. The short wings are decorated with three vertical ribs, though the right wing is encrusted in corrosion. Midway down the rectangular-section bow is a semi-circular moulding with a central rib. Above and below the moulding are three ribs. The fantail foot is broken at the left corner and is completely encrusted with corrosion. Behind the foot is an incomplete catchplate. The length of the brooch is 49.2mm, the width is 16.8mm and the weight is 12.38g.
