Description: | Copper alloy brooch fragment. Cast trumpet brooch, Mackreth type TR 1.a1a, comprising a plain expanded trumpet head with a simple border and a short point protruding from its top, and with a loop behind to retain pin gear [lost]; a bow which narrows below the head and expands at a set of three cylindrical ribbed mouldings which pass around the bow. The ribs were probably finely billeted with incised cuts though this detail is all but lost. There are no petals to elaborate the mid bow decoration. Below the mouldings the bow acquires a keeled appearance, but is mostly lost. Fiercely abraded. The type may be of Yorkshire origin, being more commonly found north of the Humber. Suggested date: Early Roman, 100-175.Length: 42.7mm, Width: 14.7mm, Thickness (crest of bow): 6.4mm, Weight: 10.38gms.
