Description: | The lower half of a Roman trumpet brooch with just the lower bow and part of the catch plate surviving. The brooch is decorated with an acanthus button, typical of the trumpet brooch. Its colour is light brown-green and it has been twisted, possibly resulting in the breakage. The brooch as it remains is 31.79mm long, 7.05mm as the widest point, and 5.74mm thick. It weighs 2.3 grams. Parallels can be seen in 'A visual catalogue of Richard Hattatt's ancient brooches' (Hattatt 2000, no.947) and date to AD75-175.
