Nice Brooch Webber,as you say a Trumpet so nice and early, unusual as the head does appear to have eyes in the moulding, looks similar to 949 in Brooches Of Antiquity (Richard Hattatt) well done mate Wink

Oh it's definitely a Trumpet brooch and so as Paul says early 80-140AD but as to a type I'm a bit stumped Huh The majority of TB have a pedestal foot whereas yours is obviously a ball foot and quite a whopper at that the decoration is very similar to a group centred around Wroxeter which tend to only be found along the Welsh boarders with a few in Wales, so my guess, and that's all it is, is that this is from the same group but from an unknown workshop Wink
