Description: | Cast copper alloy trumpet brooch dating to c.75-175 AD.The brooch is mostly complete although the pin and spring are missing. There is a rearward circular lug which the spring would have gone through. There is quite a lot of corrosion on the surface which has given it an uneven patina of brown and green patches. The head is quite small and is decorated with 2 lines which come up from the moulded decoration in the middle of the bow. They curl outwards and round to form circles on the head. The moulding on the bow is not an acanthus shape, just a plain disc. It a ribbed disc above and below. The catchplate runs from the moulding but has mostly broken away. The bow narrows towards the foot which 3 small discs. The lower bow would have had some decoration similar to the head but the corrosion means most of this is has gone.
