Description: | Copper alloy variant trumpet type brooch. It has a flat head-plate with integral sub-circular loop and slightly off-centre head stud. The bow has a ribbed foot-knop and pronounced knee. The 2.2 mm wide pin was secured with a semi-circular tubular hinge, and although it has been truncated after c. 7 mm, it remains in situ beneath the hinge mechanism. The catch-plate is triangular in shape and starts above the foot-knop.The upper bow is D-shaped in cross-section and curves away from the head towards a prominently ribbed knee. Below this are three longitudinal ribs running down to the transversely-ribbed foot, which terminates in a bulbous knop with a smaller knop beyond.The sub-circular head-plate has a stud above the bow consisting of a dished decoration, c. 11.6 mm in diameter, c. 6.3 mm in depth, with a central pellet and transverse groove decoration around the top. It is possible that this may have been filled with enamel originally. Around the circumference of the head, between the bow and loop, is a decorative motif of punched circles. There is no decoration on the reverse.
