Description: | Copper alloy Roman brooch of 'trumpet' type with champleve enamel inlay. The foot terminates in a flat disc separated from the body of the brooch by a ring of seven lobes and a plain, disc-like moulding. The foot is straight sided with a triagular section. Along its edges are narrow ribs and grooves between which are pairs of triangular indentations. The brooch's bow bears a moulding consisting of a central disc either side of which are three leaf-like lobes. To each side of these are mouldings which bear two incised grooves. The head of the brooch expands into a trumpet shape inlaid with blue, green and probably red, enamel. On the upper part of the trumpet the design consists of recessed triangular panels; its lower part bearing curving 'Celtic' style volutes. The under side of the trumpet is hollow cast and across its mouth is a loop with notches at the points where it joins the body of the brooch. At the end of the brooch are the truncated remains of a further loop which originally secured the spring.
