Roman copper alloy Trumpet brooch
Hollow trumpet-shaped head with a plate at the top, suggesting a head loop. On each side there is a projecting socket to receive the axial bar for the spring, which is missing. At the summit of the bow are lateral crescentic expansions containing the remains of blue enamel. The foot is incomplete, but appears to have terminated in a hollow disc.
