Description: | A cast copper alloy Roman brooch of Trumpet type, dating from AD 75 - 175. The upper portion of the bow and head remains, the lower bow, foot, catchplate and pin are missing. The head is trumpet shaped, with a small, thin stub of metal projecting centrally from its top, and has an axis bar(perhaps iron) within its tubular housing on the reverse. The head tapers to form a circular sectioned upper bow. The central bow has a rather worn integrally moulded relief acanthus motif, flanked top and bottom by a double-collar. The object has a light green patina and an area of red corrosion on the reverse of the head. The break is patinated. For similar examples see SWYOR-D8CAE0 and SWYOR-123210.
