Description: | Copper alloyBrooch. Trumpet Brooch, as identified by finder. A curved trumpet head masks a wide loop for an axis bar or spring (now lost), surmounting a round-section bow. The bow expands towards a triple rib moulding flanking a rather flattened central acanthus-derived moulding standing proud. The flanking moulding is repeated below this, where the bow achieves a plano-convex section with a catch-plate springing from its flat back. The bow ends in a further triple collar moulding above a simple pedestal foot. Suggested date: Early Roman, 100-200.Length: 55.2mm, Width (head): 19mm, Thickness (crest of bow): 5.2mm, Weight: 20.37gms.
