Description: | Copper alloyBrooch. Trumpet Brooch, incomplete. Cast head with six coil spring and stub of pin, with a wire top loop tensioned by a rectangular clip and serving as axis bar. The bow tapers from a trumpet head to a centre section where moulded collars alternate with two bands of six projecting knops, perhaps derived from acanthus ornament. The bow tapers below this point, assuming an angular section, with the bent stub of a folded catch-plate on the reverse. The foot - if there had been one - is now lost. This brooch resembles an example from Billingsgate, London (Hattatt 1987, no. 958). The finder has coated this well-preserved object with Vaseline, imparting a glossy dark colour. Suggested date: Early Roman, 80-200.Length: 89.8mm, Width: 38.2mm, Thickness: (at moulding): 29.5mm, Weight: 18.99gms.
