Description: | A copper-alloy incomplete trumpet brooch of the early Roman period, c. 75-200.The brooch is incomplete, missing its foot, much of its catchplate, and its sprung pin. The brooch has also been bent back, such that in profile, it has a marked reverse-C-shape. The head has the typical bell-shape of the type, but there is a marked central ridge running from the top of the head to the centre of the bow, where it meets half-round moulded decoration in the form of a worn double collar, flanked above and below by a slight swelling further distinguished by an incised line along the top and bottom of each swelling that effectively creates another collar above and below the central decoration. The lower bow also has the central ridge seen on the upper bow.The reverse of the head retains a cast integral loop that would have held a spring-pin in place.
