Description: | An incomplete copper alloy Trumpet brooch of Roman date. The head is circular and worn with an integrally cast lug projecting from the reverse to accommodate the now heavily corroded pin mechanism. The pin no longer remains. The centre of the head extends into a circular sectioned bow which tapers in circumference to an extremely worn break. Midway along the length of the bow is a circular swelling which represents the crude acanthus moulding.The metal has a mid brownish-green patina and is extremely worn. The brooch is 34.3mm long, 8.1mm wide, 5.4mm thick and weighs 6.4g.Similar examples are illustrated in Hattatt, p.327, fig.186 and are dated to circa 75 - 175 AD.
