Title
Roman zoomorphic brooch, obverse
Description
English: A small, incomplete cast copper-alloy Roman plate brooch. The brooch is sub-crescentic in shape with protrusions at each end of the crescent. There is a further protrusion on the outer edge. A central raised line divides the field of the brooch into two cells: the closest to the outer edge was decorated with blue enamel, as traces covering less than half of the cell testify. On the reverse the catchplate has been abraded away and the pin is also missing. The broken protrusions point to animal appendages, probably the head, leg and tail of a cockerel. Such an attribution is based upon a similar example illustrated in Hattatt (1982, 163; ref. 163). The strutting cockerel in Hattatt (1982, 162; ref. 163) was also enamelled in blue, its other section being in red. Roman, 2nd century AD.
