Title
Roman : Zoomorphic brooch
Description
English: Copper-alloy zoomorphic brooch in the shape of a three-dimensional swimming swan. The swan has a naturalistic outline and dates to the 2nd century AD. The main body is concave and formed from a thin moulded sheet of metal. The wings are decorated with enamelled crescent, eight on each side. The enamel is largely missing leaving behind the empty cells; traces of blue and red are however visible in the tail. Between the wings are two inward pointing rows of triangles, facing each other. A simple head extends out of this end, the detail of the eye and the bill can be seen. The tail is pierced.

Below the tail there is a twin lug and the catchplate remains under the head. The pin is missing.

A similar swan brooch can be seen in Hattatt, p164-5, Fig: 70.
