Title |
Dragonesque brooch |
||
Description |
English: An incomplete copper alloy Roman Dragonesque brooch. The S-shaped body has a zoomorphic terminal with large ears and a curled snout at each end. The snouts curl right back on to the top of the head creating a circular hole. Each head has a raised circular eye with a concentric groove around it and there are three large circular domed bosses, each surrounded by a concentric groove, in the centre of the brooch. The brooch has a raised surface. The missing pin would have been looped around the neck of the upper head then hooked under the lower head. The brooch has a large area of iron corrosion over one head indicating that the pin may have been iron. Although the pin does not survive, Johns (1996) suggests that the pins on these brooches would have had an exaggerated curve to enable them to pass through quite a thick fold of cloth before being hooked under the other neck. On the back, the brooch is hollow at each ear and at the centre. These brooches were possibly worn in pairs like other forms of Roman brooch. The brooch weighs 22.25g and is 57.82mm long, 23.29mm wide and 9.33mm thick. The style of Dragonesque brooches is inspired by 'Celtic' designs, but brooches of this type are Roman in date, AD 75-175. |
