Description: | Copper alloy fragment, possibly the head from a Dragonesque brooch. The fragment is flat and shaped in the form of a head; the perimeter is reasonably clear and shows a linear break at the bottom. The object has a comma shaped 'ear' with a forehead to the right terminating with a upturned snout-like feature. There is a large incised circle on the surface of the object below the ear, possibly representing an eye. There is another incised line curving gently from bottom below the eye to the top of the beginning of the snout. Two further curved lines divide the snout itself. The art-style suggests a late Iron Age or Roman date for this piece, whether it be from a brooch or a mount fragment. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
