Description: | Roman copper alloy trumpet bow brooch, 55mm long, 27mm wide and 15mm thick. The brooch is in fair condition and weighs 16.16grams. The object is circular in section and has a circular headplate which has the scar of a linear protrusion emerging from its underside, probably a loop for the pin attachment. The brooch emerges from the plate with a tapering circular form and turns at almost a right angle to its shoulder where it has a worn acanthus scroll. The bow tapers below this and terminates in a spherical knop. Most of the bow has a scar for a catchplate which is now missing. The object's surface appears to be heavily decorated but it is quite worn and may also be a poor casting, there are areas where casting scars may be visible?
