Description: | Copper alloyBrooch. Flat cast Zoomorphic Plate Brooch, probably representing a hare - hound or mouse might also be possibilities - a tiny lug represents the tail. A two-coil spring and the stub of a pin remain on reverse, as does a folded unpierced catch-plate, now slightly damaged. On its display face, the body of the animal is divided into three compartments by diagonal ribs; the central compartment retains a field of dark enamel. The other compartments are now empty; that to the left bears an oval perforation of 1.5mm length. The eye is outlined by a further sunken ring of dark, possibly reddish, enamel. The tripartite division into enamelled cells is paralleled on a hare brooch with spring fastening from Hungerford, Berkshire (Hattatt 1987, no. 1191).Length: 27.87mm, Width: 10.93mm, Thickness (of plate): 1.30mm, Weight: 2.36gms.Suggested date: Early Roman, 100-200.
