Description: | An incomplete tiny Roman (AD 75-175) copper alloy and enamel Trumpet derivative brooch, missing its spring mechanism, catchplate and pin. In addition the bow is bent over on itself. It measures 18.81x8.28mm and weighs 1.03g.The head plate is semi-circular with traces of blue enamel to the front top edge. The bow below is extremely worn but D-shaped in cross-section. To the reverse is a semi-circular cross-sectioned 'housing' for the missing spring, with projecting D-shaped lugs at either end broken across the piercing that would have held the axis bar.In her "Roman Brooch Timeline", Worrell (2007) dates Trumpet brooches to AD 75-175.
