| Title |
Roman dragonesque brooch |
||
| Description |
English: An incomplete, enamelled copper alloy Roman plate brooch of the dragonesque type, dating from AD 75 - 175. The remaining portion of the brooch consists of the body of the brooch, two extensions and part of the pin. The other end of the brooch has broken away and is missing. One of the extensions projects from the end of the body, as is usual, the other projects from the centre of one edge of the body and joins that projecting from the end to form an openwork loop containing the remains of the copper alloy pin which is wrapped round the neck in a large spiral of two turns. The end of the pin brazed to the loop. The conjoined projections then end in a leaf shaped terminal, divided longitudinally by a central moulded ridge. The body of the brooch carries a moulded design in the form of a circle divided into four quadrants by narrow, treardrop shaped ridges. The brooch is decorated with red and blue enamel. The red appears on each side of the extension ridge, in the four quadrants of the circle and in some of the the interstices of the body between the moulding and the outer edge of the brooch. The blue appears in the remainder of these interstices. A similar brooch is illustrated in Hattatt (1998) fig. 210. The brooch hass a length of 34.07mm, a width of 17.51mm, and a thickness (including the coiled pin head) of 9.67mm. It weighs 6.43g. |
