Title
LEIC-04ACE7: Roman zoomorphic plate brooch
Description
English: An incomplete copper alloy and enamel Roman zoomorphic plate brooch. The brooch is in the shape of a horse, with the head and legs missing. The horse's body has a raised ridge around the outer edge and a line across the centre creating a void which holds red enamel in the centre and yellow enamel to either end. The horse's tail and mane are defined by small engraved lines. To the reverse is the damaged and heavily corroded remains of the catchplate on the horse's shoulded and the pin fitting on its shank. Due to the advance enamelling techniques displayed on zoomorphic brooches of this type Bayley and Butcher (2004, 174) suggest that they emerged in the first half of the second century and they appear to have been in use throughout the rest of this century.
