Description: | Cast copper alloy trumpet brooch dating to the Roman period, (45-410AD). The brooch has the typical trumpet head of this type. The head is bordered by a raised semi-circular moulding. It is a sprung example and the rearward lug remains on the back of the head. The bow is arched terminating in a circular foot knop. The bow is circular in cross-section. At mid-bow there is a circular button which is decorated with incised lines above and below. The button is 10.31mm in diameter. The leg tapers gradually towards the foot. The foot is rounded with a small decorative moulding just above. The catchplate has been damaged and the pin is missing. It has a bright green patina. Similar examples can be found on p131, Hattatt, (1987).
