Description: | A fragment of a cast copper alloy Roman trumpet brooch (derivative). The fragment consists of the lower portion of the brooch, the base of the bow being roughly triangular in shape with the point ending in a circular boss with recessed circular fitting for enamelling or stone fitting; the triangular foot of the brooch has a central panel in which are three lozenge shaped cells, which may too have once held enamel. The upper portion of the brooch, consisting of the upper bow, arms and spring and pin are all absent. The reverse of this brooch is plain, but there is no catchplate; there is a rough patch where one would have expected the catchplate to be located which suggests that the catch has either snapped off or been removed.This style of trumpet brooch represents an evolution of the earlier distinctive stryle, and can be dated to the late 1st / 2nd century AD. It is similar in design to Hattatt (2000) no.988.
