Description: | A cast copper-alloy trumpet brooch dating to the 2nd century.The spring and pin are missing, as is the catchplate, but the main body of the brooch is mostly complete. A break below the head and below the central acanthus bands have resulted in the tripartite division of the body, which has been poorly repaired, so that the head and lower half of the bow appear to bend back severely.The decoration primarily takes the form of banding, above the foot, above and below the acanthus moulding, which is stylized and 'stretched' into banding.
