Description: | Roman cast copper alloy dragonesque brooch, 1st-2nd century. Complete but snapped in two. S-shaped in plan with one head twisted to the right and one to the left. Both heads are similar with a large ear with a drop-shaped lump in the centre, and rounded snout with, on one, a circular depression and on the other a hemispherical depression. The flared body is decorated with three ridges giving it a fluted appearence. The head with the hemispherical depression on the snout is joined to the body at the 'chin' and the sheet pin is looped around its neck; the pin is bent back on itself, apparently deliberately. Mid green brown patina. Length (approx) 40mm, width 15mm, thickness across centre 4.8mm, weight 4.64g + 1.71g.
