Description: | Copper alloyPossible Brooch fragment. A very abraded fragment from the central part of the bow of a trumpet brooch. This identification is prompted by what appears to be the stub of a catch-plate below a zone of moulded relief decoration probably derived from acanthus leaf decoration. The object is heavily abraded overall, probably in antiquity. The upper part of the bow is now narrowed to a point, a feature which encouraged the finder to offer an initial identification of the object as being a Viking-Age fitting decorated with a beaked bird or eagle head. Suggested date: Early Roman, 80-200.Length: 32.7mm, Width: 9.5mm, Thickness (at moulding): 8.4mm, Weight: 5.67gms
