Description: | Incomplete elaborately cast Medieval sub-oval openwork brooch. The brooch depicts a male humanoid figure, possibly naked, bearded and with long hair with his right arm against the side of his body on the outside edge of the brooch and his left arm held horizontally to form a narrowed pin bar (retaining fragment of rectangular-sectioned pin) and grip the neck of the dragon that forms the other side of the brooch. The dragon has cast details of eyes and snout on its triangular head, front limbs curling round to touch the sides of its neck, a prominent ridge for its spine between pecking to represent scales and lower limbs and tail entwined with the possibly elongated legs of its adversary to form the base of the brooch. 16 x 18mm. 13th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Robbins, Katherine - Norfolk Museums and Archaeology Service | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
