Description: | 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. | Subjects: | Dragonesque | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Collins, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
