Description: | A copper alloy trumpet brooch dating from AD 75 - 175. The trumpet head is decorated with a grove round the rim, and two grooves down the centre of the bow. There is a triple collar above and below the full round acanthus button. The lower bow is triangular in section with a groove running along each face. The foot is discoidal but very worn. The catchplate survives but is missing the turn over, and behind the head of the brooch is a tubular housing for the axis bar, which is copper alloy. The hinged pin sits in a slot, but only the head survives. The head loop is broken off and missing. The brooch has a mid green patina with some pitting and is very worn.
