Description: | A cast copper alloy Roman zoomorphic brooch. The brooch is hollow and cast in the shape of a bird (chicken), with upwards projecting head and tail feathers - both of which have now broken off. The pin mechanism was attached under the bird's tail but is now missing, only the hinge remains, and the catchplate was under the head and is also now missing. The upper surface of the body of the bird is decorated with a geometric design of inlaid coloured (red, blue and yellow) enamel panels. | 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: | 50
