Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy Roman trumpet brooch, dating to the late first to later second century AD. The brooch is missing the lower part of the bow and its foot, however a small part of the catchplate is retained on the inside of the bow. The brooch head is of typical trumpet form with an incomplete head loop. There are ribbed mouldings either side of the head and splayed linear mouldings on the narrowed bow, above and below a larger tri-ribbed swelling. The whole brooch has been silvered and much of this survives. The pin and part of the spring is retained. This type of brooch dates from c. AD 75-175.
