Description: | Copper alloy.Brooch. Cast Three-Dimensional Zoomorphic Brooch, representing a swimming duck. The body is modelled as a concavo-convex tear-drop shape. A hinged pin and folded unpierced catch-plate occur on the reverse, attached at either end with the hollow of the body behind them.. The outer display face is divided into three rows of curvilinear compartments extending from neck to tail, at least of which retain traces of mid-blue enamel; the compartments include paired annulets at the tail (cf. Hattatt 1987, no. 1166, from Berkshire). A finely modelled head and neck are cast solid; enamel dots define the eyes, which are emphasised by a further circular compartment, though with no traces of colourant. A small suspension loop lies at the tail of the duck. A spot of modern contact adhesive is caught between the point of pin and the catch-plate.Suggested date: early Roman, 100-200.Length: 34.85mm, Width: 17.14mm, Thickness (body): 1.50mm, Weight: 8.25gms.
