Description: | An incomplete, cast copper-alloy trumpet brooch of the Roman period, dating c. 70-200.The brooch is very worn and corroded, with the upper half of the brooch and head bent back sharply from the bow. The cast integral lug on the reverse of the head bears iron corrosion. The centre of the bow is decorated with opposed acanthus decoration in full-round. Below this decoration, the base of the missing catchplate can be found on the reverse of the bow. There may have been some further decoration on the bow, but wear and damage has obscured this.
