Title
Roman dragonesque brooch
Description
English: A cast copper-alloy dragonesque brooch of the Roman period.

The brooch is incomplete, missing one head or terminal from the body and the pin.

The brooch is S-shaped in plan, typical for its type. The head is shaped like a parallelogram in plan, with a circular protrusion off the 'front' forming the beast's snout. A nostril is depicted with a punched annular shape incised in the snout, and an eye if formed by a punched ring-and-dot.

The main body of the brooch has a decorated central panel, with the decoration in relief. The decoration consists of a sinuous S-coil, each end terminating in two pointed-oval lobes sharing one roundel.

The back is undecorated, with a slight concavity in the underside of the remaining head. The whole brooch is slightly convex. No traces of the pin or attachment mechanism or catchplate remain.
