Description: | Copper alloy brooch, swimming duck type. Missing most of the pin, otherwise complete and in good condition. The pin was hinged on two close set lugs. The body of the duck is concave underneath. A small pierced loop at the tail end (over the hinge) is worn on one side (on the duck's left). The enamelled body has six square cells along the centre, alternately red and blue, with seven curved cells along each side, alternating blue and red, and a double curve red cell at the tail end. The head is fully round with dot eyes containing orange enamel. Length 33mm beak to tail; height excluding catchplate/hinge 16mm; maximum body width 19mm. This is Hull type 213 (Bayley and Butcher 2004, 175) which they suggest may date to the late 2nd century. | 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: | 120
