Description: | Copper alloyBrooch. Flat zoomorphic plate brooch depicting a hare running at full pelt. The body, ear and eye are bounded by raised borders, probably to confine enamel, though no trace of colourant survives. A hinged pin engages with a simple folded catch-plate, only the tip of which is lost. Similar brooches are described by Hattatt (1987, 238-45) as hound or hare brooches; this reporter favours the latter interpretation.Length: 38.74mm, Width: 13.61mm, Thickness of plate: 1.59mm, Weight: 3.31gms.Suggested date: Early Roman, 100-200.
