Possibly part of a copper alloy Roman trumpet brooch dating from 75 - 175 AD. Only the button and the lower bow survives. The upper bow is circular in section and curves backwards before the worn and patinated break. The acanthus button is just a plain projecting disc which extends right round the bow. Below it is a bulbous moulding on the front of the bow. The lower bow is D shaped in section and tapers to a point where the foot is missing. It is quite corroded, but there is no evidence of a catchplate, casting doubt on the identification as a brooch.

Description: Part of a Medieval probable annular brooch, of which over half of the frame survives. The pin is missing. There was probably a constriction to house the pin on the missing part of the frame. The frame looks to have been roughly oval in shape and at one side it has a projection which tapers to a point and terminates in a trefoil shaped knop. The front of the frame is inscribed with lombardic letters reading: "[...]IC'(IBI)DE'IM'E'SRE[...]". The significance of this is unclear. The brooch probably dates from the 13th to early 14th century. Consequently, in terms of age …
