Description: | Incomplete Roman (40-80AD) cast copper alloy trumpet brooch. The head is oval in plan with an integrally cast circular lug on the reverse. This lug would have held the (now missing) sprung pin. There is a small broken projection at the apex of the head, from a missing chain loop. The upper part of the bow has a circular cross section, which changed to 'D' shaped just before the worn acanthus moulding. A small amount of the bow projects after this moulding, now lozengeform in cross section. The foot and catchplate are missing, and the break is worn. The brooch is 31.72mm long, 10.81mm wide across the head, 5.81mm wide and 5.24mm thick across the acanthus moulding. It weighs 5.03 grams.
