Fragment of a cast copper alloy two-piece trumpet brooch. Only part of the bow and head of the brooch survive; the spring, chord, pin, lower half of the bow and catch-plate are missing. The surface of the brooch is heavily corroded and much original surface detail has been lost. The reverse of the brooch's head contains the remains of a perforated lug, which would have presumably accommodated an axial bar. The decoration on the middle of the bow consists of poorly defined moulding rather than a typical "acanthus" motif. No other decoration on the brooch is visible. Surviving length 43m…

Romano-British, copper alloy Colchester derivative brooch of the Polden Hills type. The brooch contains a bilateral spring of apparently six coils whose overhead chord is held in place by a simple rearward-facing hook. A copper alloy axis bar passes through the coils of the spring and is held by pierced circular plates at the ends of the wings (cf. type L Hattatt 1982, 49, table 2). The wings are semi-cylindrical and both accommodate and hide from view the spring mechanism. The pierced circular plates at the ends of the wings are larger than the wings giving them the appearance of dec…

Cast copper alloy undecorated, hinged, T-shaped bow brooch. The bow is narrow and narrows as it curves towards an almost point-like tip, while the wings of the brooch are unusually short. Most of the pin and part of the small catch-plate are missing. Length 47.5mm, width of the head 11mm, weight 6.5 grams. For a close parallel cf. Hattatt 1987, 104, no.906, fig.37.

T-shaped brooches remained in vogue from the mid fir…
