Description: | An unusual Roman trumpet derivative brooch, without a trumpet head and sharing some of the characteristics of a Headstud brooch; the axis bar continues up into a broken chain loop and is secured by a rectangular collar with three triangular cells inlaid with enamel. There are short angled wings both with three triangular cells inlaid with enamel. The broken hinged pin is on an enclosed copper alloy axis bar. There is grooved vulvate moulding at the top of the bow, and mid-bow moulding framed by six rudimentary acanthus leaves between multiple alternating yellow and blue enamelled lozenges, flanked by opposed triangular cells with the remains of red enamel. There are semi-circular ribbed mouldings at the foot and a triangular catch-plate on the reverse. It measures 16 x 45mm and dates fromt the late 1st-2nd century.
