Description: | Early Roman copper-alloy Dragonesque brooch, complete except for the pin. It is a flat plate brooch with a design based on a broken-back scroll, similar to a capital S. The terminals of the S bear zoopmorphic decoration - resembling a 'dragon's head' hence the name. In this case, the ears, snouth, nostrils and eyes are clearly recognisable. This kind of brooch was predominant in Northern England (Brigantia) at the turn of the 1st to 2nd century.
