Title
Roman trumpet brooch
Description
English: A cast copper alloy trumpet brooch dating from the early Roman period, that is c. AD75-175. The brooch is in excellent condition with body, spring, pin and foot still intact. The trumpet brooch is composed of a strong, sturdy body, spring and pin. The head is trumpet-shaped with a thin moulded around the edges. The trumpet end doubles as the spring housing and there is a small extra loop attached to the back of the trumpet-shaped head. It is probably that a beaded string or a chain was suspended from it and/or attached to another, similar brooch which was worn on the other shoulder. The latter end of the brooch's bow has a circular cross section and tapers slightly towards the foot which terminates in a moulded knop. the bow itself is decorated with a moulded reel decoration, flanked by two acanthus leaves - a decor which is very typical for trumpet brooches.
