Description: | John Creighton writes:Zoomorphic BroochAn eagle with a hare in its talons, Hinged pin missing. Length: 41mm, Width: 23.49mm, Thickness: 5.62mm, Weight: 15.7gms. )references: Asthall, Oxfordshire: - Henig and Chambers 1984, 20; Baldock 152 (fig. 49) for a cat and hare plate brooch).MF notes that although most of the reverse is flat, the eagle's body is concave. This object bears the distinct dark patination which seems associated with some more complete objects making up a 2nd-century element of the Winteringham Chicken Farm assemblage; perhaps derived from a pit (AH's opinion) or other sealed context.Suggested date: Roman, 2nd-century
