Description: | Incomplete enamelled cast copper alloy dragonesque brooch of Early Roman date, c.75-175. The body of the brooch is an elongated 'S' in shape. The obverse is decorated with three raised elongated 'S' shaped ridges which follow the shape of the body and meet in a point at both ends. These ridges are crossed by three smaller transverse ridges, which create eight recesses or cells. These cells are filled with red and white enamel creating a checked pattern. The reverse of the brooch appears slightly convex and rounded. The head, tail and pin are missing. Find recorded from image supplied by North West MDC. Unfortunately no measurements recorded by club.
