Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy Roman Trumpet brooch. Brooches of this type date from between 75-175 AD. The head and bow remain intact. The spring mechanism is a tubular form, the pin is missing. The head itself is wide and trumpet shaped, with a double collar around the upper edge. There is an acanthus decoration in the centre. Below this are two collars. This is followed by a straight lower bow which has a raised central spine, with incised lines on either side. The foot knob and the catchplate have broken off. The metal is light greyish-green in colour and the brooch survives in a fine condition. Similar to examples in Hattatt p.327, fig.186, no.432.
