Description: | Copper alloy zoomorphic plate brooch in the form of a fish. The fish is depicted as jumping and diving back into water to the right. The fish is long and slender and is depicted in profile. The head is fairly worn and some of the details are difficult to distinguish. The mouth area looks to be pinched at either side; there may be a small depression representing and eye and perhaps an area to the left representing the gills. The main body contains a crescent shaped recessed cell that would have once contained enamel; no enamel now remains. There is an integral moulded fin above, and what appears to be waves or distrurbed water below the belly of the fish. The individual waves contain four recessed cells, all of which are irregular shapes and of slightly different sizes. No enamel survives in these cells. The tail is triangular and undecorated. There is a pin lug on the reverse of the snout, and a catchplate on the reverse of the tail. The pin is missing. | 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
