Description: | A cast copper-alloy Roman Trumpet brooch. The brooch is damaged, missing the lower part of its bow. The headloop is also missing, as is the pin, though the spring (with 5 coils) survives. The remains of the spring are held in place by an iron axis bar, now only visible as iron corrosion. The brooch appears to have been of Bayley and Butcher's group B, with a headloop cast in one with the head. The waist of the bow is decorated by a double moulding, possibly with a third moulding which was one on the missing part of the bow. The mouldings are flat at the back and rounded on the front. The mouldings are decorated with a series of vertical ridges, closely spaced. There are traces of a vertical ridge running from the head of the bow down to the mouldings, though this is slightly obscured by damage. This group of Trumpet brooches date from the 2nd century. The brooch fragment measures 33.85 mm in length (including what remains of the headloop). The bow is 8.7 mm wide, widening to 14.7 mm at the head.
