Description: | Copper alloyBrooch. Trumpet Brooch fragment. Cast oval head with two sharp spurs to grip the fastening gear (now lost), a gently swelling moulded and strongly curved bow with prominent mid-point moulding, above and below which it bears subsidiary mouldings, and then tapering sharply, retaining the stub of a catch plate along its back. The foot is lost. It is uncertain whether the mouldings of the bow were as simple as they now appear, or whether this is a function of heavy wear. Abraded. Suggested date: Early Roman, 75-175, possibly in the earlier part of that range if the spurs at the head imply a spring fastening.Length: 39mm, Width: 10.7mm, Thickness (crest of bow): 4.6mm, Weight: 10.27gms.
