Title
Roman : Zoomorphic Brooch
Description
English: An incomplete copper alloy zoomorphic brooch of Roman date. The brooch is in the shape of a hare in profile. The ovate head has a central pellet of copper alloy surrounded by traces of green enamel representing the eye. The ear projects from the head and has a small, shallow groove that runs through the middle of the length of the ear. The main body is mostly inlaid with blue enamel with five circular pellets of copper alloy spaced evenly apart throughout the middle of the body of enamel. The body is narrow and curved with a rounded terminal. It has two curved feet, one at the rounded terminal and the other at the start of the curved body, near the ovate head. The reverse is flat and undecorated. The catchplate on the reverse is complete and the hinge for the pin survives though the pin itself is missing.

The metal has a light brown-green patina. The object is 29.08mm long, 14.11mm wide, 2.01mm thick and weighs 3.63g

A similar example can be found in Hattatt's Visual Catalogue p.362 no. 162 and is dated to the 2nd Century AD.
