Description: | Roman copper alloy trumpet bow brooch, 35mm long,14mm wide and 11mm thick. The brooch is in fair condition and weighs 5.89grams. The brooch begins with an oval sectioned flared end, the reverse of which contains a bar across its hollow interior which would have held a pin. The brooch is decorated with two outward facing C shaped cells filled with blue enamel. These are separated by a central raised vertical line which terminates at the top of the brooch in a solid triangle and at the other end splits to form a chevron. Below this the brooch is sub- circular in section and is decorated with a raised section forming an acanthus scroll. The brooch has broken just below this point, just at the start of the catch-plate.The brooch is very similar to egs 433/432/957, Fig 186 in Hattatt,R. A visual Catalogue of Ancient Brooches.
