Description: | Incomplete enamelled copper alloy dragonesque brooch of Early Roman date, c.75-175. The main body of the brooch is sub-oval. It terminates in a point at one end where the tail would have originally been, while the other curves round the main body to form a neck. The neck is a figure of eight. The form of which creates two similar sized openwork circles. In between the two circles is the eye which sits next the snout/beak. The eye is represented by a raised rounded protrusion, which sits in a perfect circular recess. The brooch is decorated with raised geometric ornamentation with traces of white, blue and red enamel still remaining in the recesses. No image of reverse. Find recorded from image supplied by North West MDC. Unfortunately no measurements recorded by club.
