Description: | A cast, copper alloy Roman brooch of Trumpet derivitive type with a large boss on the bow and a fantail. The brooch is very worn. It has the stub of an integral headloop, tubular wings enclosing an iron axis bar, and a rectangular head. The centre of the bow expands into a large lozenge shaped plate with a circular ring cell for enamel on the front and raised knops at the four corners. The lower bow is a slight fantail which may also have been decorated with enamel but is too corroded to see. Most of the catchplate survives though it is damaged, but the pin is missing. The brooch has a purple colour and almost all the patina is missing. Compare to number 986 and 987 on page 330 of Hattatt's visual catalogue, though they have round plates, not lozenge shaped ones. The brooch dates from the first or second century.
