A resized image of Headstud of a Roman trumpet brooch

A head and bow fragment of a Roman copper alloy trumpet brooch. The periphery of the headplate is irregular through damage, but is broadly oval in shape. On the reverse side of the headplate is the dished rectangular-shaped remains of the spring containment. The oval-cross sectioned bow joins the head plate in a moulded chevron shape and rises at an angle of approximately 45 degrees. The bow is fluted on either side of a central flat band where it joins a collar that expands into a conical moulded circular knuckle. The head side of the knuckle is decorated with a moulded trefoil shape. There is only a short stub of the bow on the foot side of the knuckle whereupon the bow terminates in an old break. Similar brooches are shown in Hattatt: A Visual Catalogue of Richard Hattatt's Ancient Brooches ( 2007) p326-328 which are dated from the 1st to 2nd century AD.
