Description: | Fragment of Roman copper alloy Trumpet brooch, consisting of the central part of the bow only. It weighs 5.72g and measures 33.62mm in length.At the break closest to the head, the bow is oval in section (6.7x6.2mm) and shows a central black core, something also visible on another broken Trumpet brooch, WILT-56D935 from West Lavington, Wiltshire. At the opposite break the top of the lower bow is T-shaped in section, with a flat bow and top of the catchplate extending to the rear. The centre of the brooch, which is rather more D-shaped in section (being flatter to the reverse), is decorated with a half-acanthus between two ribs either side of a line of moulded diagonal lines (rope decoration) above and below.Mid-1st to mid-2nd century.
