Description: | A copper-alloy Lion derivative brooch of 1st century date (cf. Hattatt 2000: fig. 166, no. 780).The short tubular wings are damaged on the underside, revealing six coils of the copper-alloy spring. There is a central slot on the underside of the head, from which protrudes a small portion of the pin. The bow is narrow. Its uppermost section tapers downwards, extending into a pair of transverse ridges separated by a groove; below these mouldings the width increases slightly, just above the point of the break. The surfaces of the brooch appear to have been tinned or silvered. The artefact measures 23.4mm long, 14.4mm wide and 6.3mm thick (head). The weight is 2.75g.
