Description: | A copper alloy Trumpet brooch dating to the 1st-2nd centuries of the Roman period. The brooch is incomplete, missing the pin and it has been broken near the bottom of the bow so that the catchplate is also missing. It therefore, consists of a circular head (9.79mm in diameter) with a semi circular loop attached to the back and a curved bow with moulded decoration about halfway down. There is no other decoration remaining on the object. It is green in colour and weighs 3.8g, measuring 37.63mm in length and 4.39mm in thickness. A parallel can be found in Hattatt, R. (2007) A catalogue of Richard Hattatt's Ancient Brooches, Oxford: Oxbow: 329, fig. 87: no. 437.
