Description: | An almost complete cast copper-alloy Roman trumpet brooch. Behind the hollow sub-oval head is a perforated lug with a protrusion underneath, though the pin is now missing. The trumpet head is plain except for an incomplete ridge around its perimeter and the arched bow expands midway to a worn acanthus moulded button with two knurled ribs above and below. The leg is triangular in section and tapers towards the moulded foot knob, which is decorated with two ribs. The long complete catchplate has a length 26.1mm and a surviving width of 8.5mm. The brooch is very worn around the central button and most of the original dark green patina has worn away. The length of the brooch is 46.6mm, the width is 24.1mm and the weight is 10.18g.
