Description: | Roman copper alloy Trumpet brooch fragment, 44mm long, 9mm wide and 13mm deep. The object is in good condition with a green patina and weighs 6.65 grams. The brooch has broken off just below its wings and is in a good condition. It has a semi-spherical section and gently curves. Its bow is decorated with two horizontal ridges which sit above a more prominant rounded bulge which is decorated with vertical incisions and is flanked above and below with a narrow ridge. Just before the catchplate begins the front has another horizontal ridge and from here is plain down to its foot. The foot is semi-circular and has three horizontal ridges decorating its front. The catchplate is intact and emerges in a gentle curve from the bow for one third of its length. At this point, its widest, it forms a curved edge to contain the pin and tapers inwards towards the base.
