Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy Trumpet brooch of Roman date (AD 75-175). The head is ovate with worn edges. There appears to be a spring present though it is coated in a thick layer of iron corrosion obscuring features. The pin mechanism no longer remains. There is a convex bow with integrally cast circumferential knopped moulding which is decorated with vertically aligned incised grooves above and below. The bow is D-shaped with a longitudinal concentric decoration. The reverse retains a complete catch plate. The foot is also circumferentially knopped with vertically aligned incised grooves above. The metal is a light brown with a green patina. The brooch is 59.05mm in length, 31.22mm in width, 6.9mm thick and the diameter of the moulding is 14.17mm. The brooch weighs 26.59g.
