Description: | Romano-British zoomorphic brooch in the form of a bounding dog. The ears are back, there is a blue enamelled dot representing the eye, an elongated snout, a short upward curving tail. The front legs are forward (broken) and the rear legs broken. The body has a blue-enamelled cell. There are twin perforated lugs on the back with a fragment of the pin and broken catchplate. The dimesions of the brooch are 36 x >13mm. Cf. discussion in Johns (1996), 174-5 regarding the difficulties of distinguishing hares from hounds on such brooches and a brooch of similar form to this example, although described as a hare, in Hattatt 1985, no.610. 2nd century AD.
