Description: | Incomplete copper alloy Roman trumpet headed brooch with enamel decoration, consisting of the upper bow and head only, but missing its pin.The brooch measures 27.5mm in length to the (old) break just below the central bow decoration. It weighs 3.8g.The head is 10mm wide and houses a broken spring to the reverse (possibly originally with five coils) between C-shaped side lugs. Iron concretion is also evident. Above the head a loop extends, 4.5mm in diameter (internal 2.5mm).The central decoration is circular (9.5mm) with four equidistant projections around the edge. At the centre is a bronze pellet and the area around (6mm diameter) this is filled with red enamel, some of which has been lost.2nd century in date. Some examples of this type have spots on the head, either side of the bow. There is possibly one spot visible on the head of this brooch though one on the other side is not discernable (possible through wear). Cf. Hattatt 450, 87.
