Description: | Zoomorphic plate brooch in the form of a horse, dating to the late 2nd century AD. It is a cast copper alloy brooch with a white metal coating, some of which has now worn off. The brooch is hinged, the pin is missing. There is a thin strip of horizontal metal which represents the ground the horse is standing on. The horse is standing facing left with it's head bent towards the ground. It has a height of 21mm. Only 3 legs are visible. The head almost touches the ground and is connected. The mane is picked out with incised lines. This style of brooch is unusual in Britain as it is of an Eastern style.
