Description: | Roman horse plate brooch fragment, 23mm long, 18mm wide and 2mm thick. The object is in fair condition with a green patina and weighs 2.07grams. The object consists of the front portion of the horse. The head is very small in proportion to the body and is realistically styled with two raised ears and a small mane behind. Below the head are five sub-rectangular enamel cells, arranged in a row, which sit above one large linear cell containing traces of red enamel. Just below the linear cell is the start of a small thin foreleg. The horses middle is very thin, with the enamel cell taking up most of its width and has broken at this point. The reverse contains a rectangular catchplate which appears complete. The brooch is very similar to eg.1181, fig 218, in Hattatt, R. A visual catalogue of ancient Brooches.
