Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy Trumpet brooch. The brooch has a convex oval head with a copper alloy pin bar on the reverse. The spring is incomplete. The suspension loop at the top is missing. The bow is comma shaped in profile and has a domed circular boss in the centre. This boss would have had four lugs spaced evenly around the perimeter, however only one now remains. The centre of the boss is decorated with a ring of enamel which looks now to be a degraded yellow-green colour. The lower bow is D-shaped in cross-section and tapers to a forward facing incomplete foot. The upper part of the forward facing foot is arched and concave.The brooch is very similar to Bayley & Butcher 2004, p 99, nos. 236 & 237.
