Description: | Copper alloyBrooch. Cast variant of Trumpet Brooch; the upper part of bow resembles a small knee brooch, but other characteristics ally this to Trumpet Brooches or Trumpet Headed forms. A hook projects back from over a single coil of a spring (otherwise lost), behind a small rectangular plate or vestigial wings. The upper bow is markedly expanded, resembling that of a knee brooch, but narrows towards a central collared moulding. The lower bow descends to a small moulded foot, with a pierced catch-plate bearing two round apertures of diameter 1.2mm. Suggested date: Early Roman, 100-200.Length: 42.9mm, Width (upper bow): 11.33mm, Thickness (crest of bow): 4mm, Weight: 5.63gms.
