Title
Iron Age or Roman: Zoomorphic brooch
Description
English: A late Iron Age or early Roman copper-alloy brooch in the form of a fully-modelled hare. The animal has a rectangular head with a transverse groove for a mouth, two projecting rounded eyes, and a pair of long conjoined ears which slope back at an angle from the head. The back arches to a short tail, which is now apparently truncated. The legs are joined together in pairs and both pairs are now truncated. The front pair bears a groove for a hinged pin. The edge of a catchplate is still visible on the rear legs. Along either side of the body is worn punched decoration comprising line of crescents.

While flat plate brooches which depict animals, including hares, are well known, fully-modelled animals such as this example are rare and this brooch is very difficult to parallel.
