Description: | Fragment of a Roman cast copper alloy plate brooch, dating to the 2nd century AD. The fragment is the foot of an equal-ended type plate brooch. It consists of the lower section of the central flat rectangular plate and the zoomorphic foot. The rectangular bow ihas a rectangular indent in a raised rectangular border on the flat section below which the bow curves down at 90 degrees to meet the foot. The foot has a rounded plan with a central protruding knop. It is divided into four quarters with an eye in the opposite left and right quarters, and incised scales in the upper quarter. The lower quarter is blank. The catchplate runs along the lengh of the foot and is mostly complete. The surface has a mid green patina. It measures 24.8mm long, 10.4mm wide and 1.9mm thick; it weighs 2.29 grams. Hattatt (2000, 353) illustrates a similar complete example, ref. 583, and dates it to the 2nd century AD.
