Description: | A Roman copper alloy trumpet brooch dating from 75 - 175 AD. The brooch has a plain head with a short stub of metal projecting from the top of the trumpet - perhaps once a head loop. The acanthus button is very crisp; it has three petals above and below a central flange, with a collar flanking at each side. It does not continue round the bow. The lower bow is faceted with an incised border on each side. The foot is a simple reel moulding. The is a loop behind the head to hold the sprung pin which is missing. The catchplate is complete. The brooch has a smooth grey green patina and is in good condition.
