Description: | A heavily degraded copper alloy and enamel Dragonesque brooch dating to the early Roman period. The flat central plate of the brooch is decorated with cells of red and another, now degraded, colour of enamel. These comprise two crescentic cells of red enamel forming a circle. Within this circle are at least eight triangular cells of enamel forming the 'spokes' of a 'wheel'. They are alternately coloured red and the other degraded colour. There is a central circular cell of red enamel. The head and the foot of the brooch are also decorated similarly with coloured cells of enamel. However, they are too degraded to discern the shape of these cells. The underside of the brooch is flat and plain. The pin is missing. The brooch measures 43mm in length and has a maximum width of 22mm. | 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: | 75
