Roman horse brooch
Description
English: Enamelled and tinned cast copper alloy plate brooch. The brooch is in the form of a horse galloping right. The horse is shown semi-naturalistically using a combination of grooves and enamelled cells to define the various features of the horse.

The head of the horse is decorated with a concave eye, a groove depicting the mouth, and a series of grooves down the back of the neck depicting the mane. The body is slender and contains three comma shaped cells. The central one contains a reddish coloured enamel and the flanking two contain a greenish coloured enamel. The tail is short and has a recessed circular cell at the top and three grooves below. The circle may have contained enamel however none now remains. The front legs are bent at the knee and the back legs are shown angled slightly iwnard in a galloping motion.

There reverse of the horse has two lugs containing the remains of a copper alloy hinged pin. The pin is incomplete, missing most of its shank. The catchplate is intact. The lugs are located on the rump of the horse and the catchplate on the chest.
