Description: | Copper alloyBrooch. Fragment of a cast Trumpet Brooch with (probably) hinged pin (now lost). The head is surmounted by a wide suspension loop with an off-centre aperture of diameter 4.2mm, and bears twin lugs for an axis bar; the head is slightly hollowed so could possibly have accommodated a small spring. The head sits above a heavy collar moulding and further heavy three-dimensional moulding. Patches of dark blue on the display face of the top loop might suggest this part of brooch was formerly enamelled. The brooch is abraded overall, with fine honeycombing of its metal particularly notable on the reverse and lower extent of the bow. Suggested date: Early Roman, 100-200.Length: 48.06mm, Width (head): 16.04mm, Thickness (crest of bow below head): 7.3mm, Weight: 19.14gms.
