Title
Roman zoomorphic hare brooch
Description
English: Copper-alloy zoomorphic brooch in the shape of a hare with a naturalistic outline and dating to the 2nd century AD. The head has a centralspot of copper-alloy surrounded by traces of red enamel, representing the eye. The ear has a shallow, oblique groove with an incised line and the tip of the ear is missing. The main field of the body is divided into threerecessed zones which would all have held enamel, although it is only the central recess where the red enamel fully survives. The catchplate is complete and the sprung pin which is mostly missing but with corroded traces surviving, is held on a D-shaped lug.
