Description: | A complete copper-alloy Roman Trumpet brooch dating from 75-175 AD. The circular headloop is broken and there is a flat transverse groove at the junction of the headloop and trumpet head. Behind the head, the hinged copper-alloy pin, which is slightly bent, is held in a cylindrical axis bar. The upper bow is triangular in section and has a central arris. The central moulding, which does not extend to the back of the brooch, consists of three petals either side of a moulded ridge with two parallel moulded ridges either side of the central moulding. There is a circular recess on the reverse of the central moulding. The lower bow has a central arris and has two longitudinal lines each consisting of ten triangular recesses which would originally have held enamel, although only slight traces of enamel of uncertain colour now survive. The foot knob has three transverse mouldings which do not extend around to the back of the brooch.
