Object Description
A well preserved ancient Roman silver ‘Kräftig Profilierte’ trumpet-headed brooch, featuring an original catch plate and pin. The simple trumpet head gradually tapers into a flattened, ovate leg leading to an onion knob finial with a nodule and incised details. The head and the leg are separated by three raised ridges across the centre of the body. Incised dots forming a vertical line decorates the middle of the leg. The well-preserved, original pin extends from the wide coil spring and would have sat in the square pin plate, which is now slightly chipped.
Date: Circa 1st-2nd century AD
