English: Incomplete cast silver Aesica-type trumpet brooch of the Roman period, dating from the 1st-late 2nd century.

The brooch is largely complete, missing its pin, its foot, and part of its catchplate. The brooch is in good condition and retains much of its decoration.

The flat headplate is cast hollow-back and is semi-circular in plan. The headloop remains intact and complete on the flat upper edge of the headplate. The bow attaches to the lower, curved-edge half of the headplate, and the upper headplate has a rectangular panel distinguished by a raised upper and lower line.

The bow is decorated and can be separated into an upper bow with projections and a lower bow consisting of a panel. The upper bow has a moulded collar with incised grooves around its circumference, with a projecting sub-circular shank on its upper face. A cast, vertically-grooved disc with a central depression has been soldered onto the shank. Below this shank and disc is a pair of forward-facing birdlip projections, with another sub-circular shank emerging from the side-centre of the meeting birdlips. A break on the opposide side indicates a missing shank. Neither of these have a disc, but each probably held one originally. The lower bow consists of a trapezoidal panel tapering toward the foot. The top of the panel, below the birdlip has a double-incised line, and the panel has a raised border and verticle central line. The reverse of the panel bears the incomplete catchplate.

The foot is missing, and this was probably a decorated disc or knob on the basis of other known Aesica type brooches.

It can be reasonably speculated that the missing pin was a spring pin that would have been soldered into the hollow in the reverse of the headplate formed where the bow joins it.
