An incomplete cast copper alloy trumpet derivative brooch of early Roman date. The brooch measures 44.8mm by 21.2mm by 13.8mm and weighs 27.7g. The wings are incomplete but appear to have been semi-cylindrical originally, in order to hide the spring for the (missing) pin. A small amount of iron corrosion in the centre of the back of the wings suggests that the pin was made of iron. The thick bow has a rectangular cross-section and projects forward into a large knop, presumably derived from the acanthus knops on trumpet brooches. It is rather worn in places but appears to have been form…
