Description: | An incomplete copper alloy Trumpet brooch of Roman date. All that remains is the head and the spring. The head is ovate with an integral lug projecting from the reverse which accommodates an incomplete pin mechanism. All six turns of the spring remain around a short length of axis bar with a collar and headloop above. The pin proper no longer remains. The centre of the head extends slightly to a break, possibly just before a moulded decoration as seemed to be common of the time.The metal has a green-dark-brown patina. The brooch is 30.74mm in length, 26.09mm wide, 5.52mm thick and weighs 12.81g.Similar examples are found in Hattatt's 'Visual Catalogue' p.326 and are dated to the 1st-2nd Century AD.
