Description: | A cast copper-alloy Roman Trumpet brooch. The brooch is damaged and suffers from corrosion. It is missing the lower part of the bow along with half of its head, headloop and pin. The brooch appears to have been of Bayley and Butcher's group B, with a headloop cast in one with the head. The sprung pin (missing) was held on an iron axis bar by two lugs behind the large trumpet head. The waist of the bow is decorated by a triple moulding, flat at the back except for two cross grooves and two faint grooves on the reverse of the upper moulding. The upper moulding of the catchplate is just visible on the back. This group of Trumpet brooches date from the 2nd century.
