Description: | Incomplete copper alloy Roman Zoomorphic brooch in the form of a hare. It is missing its ears, pin and curl of the catchplate. The tail and paws are very worn. The ring-and-dot eye has traces of red enamel, and the body is divided diagonally into three cells, with traces of blue, red and blue enamel surviving (in that order). The length from nose to tail is 29mm, the maximum width is c.10mm. Brooches of this type date to the 2nd century AD. It is similar to examples in Hattatt 2000, nos.612, 613 & 1191. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 101
