Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy Roman brooch. A plate brooch of equal-ended type dating to the 2nd century AD. The centrepiece is a flat lozenge with panels of enamelling (now missing). It would have two terminals but one has broken off. The remaining terminal is long and is separated from the centrepiece by a sub-rounded collar. The terminal ends with a zoomorphic head with indented dot and circle eyes. The pin is missing, and the probable hinge is missing also. The object is abraded. It has a dark green patina but is almost completely covered by a light green corrosion product.Length 34.95mm, width 20.87mm, thickness (including catchplate) 6.22mm, weight 4.3g.cf: Hattatt, 1987 'Brooches of Antiquity', pages 202-205, nos.1099-1101.
