Description: | Fragment of a Roman copper alloy brooch of 'trumpet' type. Only the head and part of the bow survive, the bow is sharply keeled and expanded to give the trumpet shape. On either side of it is a wing-like moulding. On the end of the bow is the remains of a perforated plate, now broken. The underside of the head plate is recessed to accomodate the coiled spring. At each end of the recess was a perforated semi-circular plate that retained the spring chord.
