Description: | A cast copper alloy 1st - 2nd century AD, Trumpet brooch, with moulded decoration. The brooch survives largely intact, with only the catchplate, spring and pin missing. The head of the brooch is rounded, with no central spine, running down the centre. The head has a flared border. The middle section of the bow features a basic acanthus moulded decoration.There is a spine on the reverse of the bow, which extends into the catchplate, which has broken off. The foot is also broken. On the reverse of the head there is a central lug, which would have held the spring in place. The spring and pin are missing. The surface of the metal is pitted and is mid greenish-brown in colour. This type of brooch dates from the 1st - 2nd century AD. This brooch is similar to examples in Hattatt, 2000, p327, Fig. 186.
