Description: | A copper alloy trumpet brooch dating to the 2nd century AD. The object has a flared, trumpet head with two lugs for the hinge mechanism which still contains part of the pin. There is an integral head loop which is complete. The bow tapers outwards and downwards away from the head and at the waist there is acanthus moulding on the front. The bow narrows from the waist to the stepped foot. The catchplate is still present and the back of the brooch is flat with no decoration. This brooch is identified by Bayley and Butcher (2004: 93) as a type B and they suggest that brooches of this type date to the 2nd century AD.
