Description: | A worn and degraded trumpet brooch of Roman date, c. 1st or early 2nd century AD. The brooch has a flared head like the bell of a trumpet which would have contained the spring or hinge for the pin. Due to corrosion it is not possible to tell which it would have contained. There is a narrow border around the bell of the trumpet head and the head then tapers to the bow of the brooch. There is a widening of the brooch at the waist of the bow and this likely was moulded decoration. The bow then curves back slightly before widening at the foot. The catch plate and pin are both missing from this example. This brooch is probably from Butcher and Bayley 's (2004) Group A - full-round waist-moulding rather than Group B which has flat waist mouldings at the back. See example numbers Cat 216 to 217, p.93.
