It has the remnants of a cast lug behind the small trumpet shaped head which the spring would have attached to. The spring and pin are missing.

Similar in appearance to Hattatt, A Visual Catalogue of Richard Hattatt's Ancient Brooches, Nos 437 & 435, Hattatt p 328. See also diag. 79 Fig. 43, Ancient and Romano-British Brooches, Hattat, p106.

Fragment of an unusual Trumpet headed bow brooch.

It also appears there may have been a substantial suspension loop, of which only the base remains. The bow itself seems to be similar to a perforated Hod Hill class D type, with the remains of a perforated shoulder still present. Below this is a cross rib and a raised, flat rib running down the front of the bow. The sides of the bow below the cross rib are decorated with raised protrusions along edge of the leg (3 on one side, though only 1 remaining on the other side) This lower part being similar in appearance to Hattatt, A Visual Catalogue of Richard Hattatt's Ancient Brooches, no 1504, Hattatt p 323.

FASAM-D129A5: MEDALLION
Copper alloy coin or medallion with a diameter of 36mm and a weight of 13.23g. This piece is incredibly worn. On the obverse there is a faint trace of a bust right which might have the features of Carausius (AD 286-93) - sadly this cannot be captured on a photograph. Although this might seem far-fetched, the British Museum has a medallion of Carausius which measures 38mm in diameter and weighs 13.21g. The BM piece is made of orichalcum (brass) and appears to have been overstruck on an earlier dupondius of the first of second centuries AD. It is just possible that this new find is similar. However, this will always remain speculative. This coin is included in Sam Moorhead's corpus for RIC.

LANCUM-4F58D2: COIN
