Description: | A fragment of a rather unusual cast copper-alloy zoomorphic object probably from the Roman-British period, possibly a brooch. All that survives is one of the animal terminals. The terminal is zoomorphic; the creature appears in profile, with a pointed crest. It has a round eye ?? formed from a ring and dot motif, with traces of enamel surviving within the rings. The pointed beak of the bird is also evident. .
The reverse is undecorated and flat. But at the base there is a right-angles flange.
The metal is a mid brownish-green colour. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
