Description: | A copper alloy fragment of a Roman trumpet brooch dating to 1st - 2nd Century AD. The fragment consists of the trumpet head and the attached spring mechanism and pin, held in place by the axis bar loop. The trumpet head appears to have no decoration and the bow is broken off close to the head. The spring survives intact, with an axis bar and a spring of six turns with an external chord. The end of the axis bar has become loose and extends downwards, it has therefore twisted itself around the pin, as the pin is also bent and broken. The surface is a mid brownish-green but the surface is pitted. The fragment dates to the 1st - 2nd Century AD. See Hattatt, p326, fig.185.
