Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy Roman bow brooch of Trumpet type. The brooch is in a poor state of repair, missing the bottom of the bow beneath an area of central disc shaped moulding, which has a collar above and below. The head is characteristically 'trumpet' head shaped, with the remains of a vertical linear attachment lug for the pin mechanism on the rear. The pin and its mechanism are entirely missing. The brooch is much abraded and has a thin green patina in places which overlies the purple-brown patina of the metal where this layer has worn away. The incomplete brooch measures 33.42 mm long, 10.88 mm wide at the head, 10.2 mm thick at the central moulding and weighs 11.9 grams. It dates from the late first to second century AD.
