Title
Iron Age Dragonesque brooch
Description
English: A copper alloy dragonesque brooch with the foot and the pin missing. The brooch is 43.5mm long, 30.6mm wide and 4.4mm thick. The body is decorated with large cells of alternate red and yellow enamel in varying shapes. The cells form two swirls, one extending towards the head and one towards the foot, and triangular panels between them. The projecting, backward tilted ear is decorated with yellow enamel, the eye has yellow in the centre and a concentric circle of red round it, and the mouth is picked out in red. The snout turns up at the end. The break at the narrow point before the foot is an ancient one. The reverse is plain. The copper alloy has a deep green patina. Dragonesque brooches date from AD75 - AD175. They are believed to be a British innovation, a development of the plate brooch, and were probably made in the North. Similar examples can be seen in Snape (1993).
