Description: | Fragment of Roman copper alloy Trumpet brooch, missing its loop, pin, lower bow and catchplate. It measures an incomplete 31.4mm in length and its wingspan is 20.2mm.
The crescent-shaped head is flanked by a band of rocker-arm decoration on along the curved edge. It is from here the missing stumps of the loop extend.
The head is hollowed to the reverse. The wings are tubular and still contain the axis bar (visible at the open ends and probably iron). Iron staining at the pin junction suggests this also was of iron.
The bow extends from the bottom of the head and curves forwards to a half-button before curving downwards over 3mm to the (recent) break. The bow is flat to the back and D-shaped in section. The reverse of the button is slightly hollowed.
Weighs 5.61g.
