Description: | Copper alloy.Brooch. Cast zoomorphic plate brooch, representing a swimming duck as a three-dimensional figure, and bearing traces of white metal plating on the plate. The plate was originally heart-shaped - one side is now lost - and expanded at its narrower end; a sub-triangular slot separates body of duck from plate. The body of the duck is rendered without surface detail, save for the eyes which are defined by deeply incised rings. These may have contained enamel but no trace of colourant survives. The brooch fastens with a swivelling pin engaging a simple folded catch-plate. Suggested date: Early Roman, 100-200.Length: 41.57mm, Width: 20.02mm, Height: 22.73mm, Weight: 14.02gms.
