Title
Roman brooch: Zoomorphic duck brooch
Description
English: A cast copper alloy Roman zoomorphic brooch in the form of a duck. The brooch is incomplete as the head, pin and most of the catchplate and hinge is missing. The brooch is hollow on the underside, while on the top of the brooch the feathers / wings of the duck are represented by three rows of crescentic cells, one down the spine of the bird and then a row either side for the wings, with the crescents facing the opposite direction to those on the spine. These cells would have filled with coloured enamel, non of which survives but other examples are decorated with red and blue enamel. A chain loop at the tail of the duck is now broken. This type of brooch dates to the second century AD, and is paralled in Hattatt (1985) p175 fig.621.
