Roman copper alloy Trumpet brooch
The trumpet head has a lobed margin. The bow is plain except for a light central ridge running longitudinally down the brooch, interrupted only at the waist. A wide shallow groove on each side of a plain waist knob separates it from plain transverse mouldings above and below. The tapering bow terminates in a projecting foot comprising two graduated flaring bands. The large lug behind the head supports the axial bar and is notched below to score the internal chord.
Remains of the pin and spring are seperate
