Description: | Cast copper alloy trumpet brooch dating from c.75- 175 AD.It is mostly complete with only the pin missing and part of the catchplate being broken. It is a hinged type and the lug which held the pin still remains. The head is rounded and has the typical swirly decoration. On this example the decoration is inlaid with another metal, possibly silver. About halfway down the bow is the usual moulding, it is disc shaped and goes all the way around the bow. It has smaller beaded moulding above and below. The bow narrows slightly towards the foot. The foot consists of a spherical knob with a 2-disc moulded collar above. There is some corrosion on the brooch making the surface an uneven patina and colour.
