Title
Roman : Dragonesque Brooch
Description
English: An incomplete copper alloy dragonesque brooch of Roman date. The brooch is curvilinear in form resulting in a roughly S-shaped piece, one terminal of which has been lost to an old worn break, the other is a crude globular "dragon head" terminal. The body of the brooch is decorated with three recessed rectangular cells flanked by two triangular recessed cells each of which would once have been in filled with enamel. Faint traces of blue glass enamel are retained within one of the rectangular cells. The reverse is flat and undecorated.

The metal has a mid blackish-brown patina and is worn. The brooch is 30.9mm long, 17.1mm wide, 2.7mm thick and weighs 3.4g.

Similar examples can be seen in Hattatt, p.351, fig.210 and are dated to the 2nd century AD.
