Description: | A cast copper alloy Alcester type trumpet derivative brooch of Roman date. The slightly distorted brooch measures 48.7mm by 19.1mm by 16.6mm and weighs 19.4g. It has a large trumpet-shaped head with a loop at the apex and a recess on the back for the seven-coiled spring. The pin is missing. A domed moulding projects from the middle of the bow and overhangs the rest of the bow, which is flat and narrow. This section expands slightly towards its end and terminates with a rounded knop which has a smaller knop projecting from it. Little of the catchplate survives. It has been suggested that this type of brooch dates from the late 2nd century, as an example has been discovered in a grave of this date (Bayley and Butcher 2004, p. 169).
