Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy trumpet brooch of first to second century AD date. The surviving part of the brooch measures 29.1mm by 10.7mm by 6.7mm and weighs 4.45g. The foot, catchplate and pin are missing. The rounded head narrows into a full acanthus knop and the brooch is broken just below this. Blue enamel survives in an oval cell on each side of the head and two further slightly smaller cells just above the knop. An empty oval cell is located between the two larger cells and from this point a linear ridge runs down the centre of the bow to the knop. The back of the brooch is flat and undecorated.
