Description: | Iron Age Dragonesque brooch. This brooch is essentially Celtic in design but is Roman made and continued to be made until the end of the 1st century AD. The brooch has a flat front surface and is a simple ?S? shape. Each end terminates in a stylised animal head with a large ring depicting the eye. Looped around the neck of the upper head there is the remains of a copper alloy pin. Where the pin is twisted around the neck it is flat in section; the rest of the pin does not survive. The reverse of the brooch has a slight hollow in the middle. These brooches were possibly worn in pairs like other forms of Roman brooch. The brooch weighs 3.54g and measures 29.5mm in length, 19.3mm in width and 5.7mm in thickness. | 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
