Description: | Fragment of Roman copper alloy Trumpet brooch with variant button, consisting of the button, part of the upper bow, the lower bow and catchplate only. It weighs 3.87g and measures 35.57mm in incomplete length.The upper bow, only a short stump of which survives, is oval in section (old break) and 3.43x2.69mm. Two triangular mouldings, arranged in a V formation, are above the central plain domed button (6.16x5.35mm) with two transverse lines, which extends to the front only. Another two triangular mouldings are arranged below in an inverted V-shape. The lower bow beneath measures 4.85x2.85mm and is D-shaped in section, being flat to the reverse. The catchplate extends below and the lower bow (which narrows to 3.23mm) expands slightly to the foot, which is 3.50mm wide and defined with a transverse rib and forward-kick.The bow is defined by a gentle curve in profile.Bayley and Butcher (2004, p.161) suggest a 2nd century date for this type of brooch. Cf.Hattatt nos.435 and 437.
