Description: | Incomplete Roman cast copper alloy trumpet brooch. The headplate is sub-rectangular, with a large loop on the reverse and an incomplete hook at its apex; both these fittings would have secured the now missing sprung pin. The bow is a pronounced curve, with a worn acanthus moulding around the bow. There is a worn break across the bow, with the lower half of the bow and footplate missing. The brooch has a dark green patina, and the surface is worn and pitted. It is 33.81mm long, the head is 13.34mm wide, and the acantus moulding has a diameter of 8.34 grams. The brooch weighs 7.33 grams.
