Description: | Copper alloy brooch. Cast trumpet brooch, Mackreth type TR 1.3a2. The brooch has an oval convex head surmounted by a short lug or stub which aligns with a tab projecting behind the head. This retains an axis bar and six coils of a spring with the stub of a pin projecting. The bow, of rounded section, narrows markedly below the head, expanding again at a single collar moulding above a mid bow knop which does not pass round to the back of the brooch. The knop comprises a central ridge with gutters either side, and with five 'petals' above and below in relief. Below the knop is a double collar moulding. The bow then continues with a sharper frontal aris than before, tapering very slightly to a pedestal or drum-shaped foot with the stub of a catch plate behind it. Suggested date: Early Roman, 50-150.Length: 45.7mm, Width: 16mm, Thickness (crest of bow): 3.2mm, Weight: 9.87gms.
