Description: | A Roman enamelled copper-alloy cockrel or duck brooch. The brooch in the form of a sitting bird. The body is a pointed oval in plan and decorated with a series of recessed triangular panels along the wings, and recessed semi-circles along the breast. The cells were once filled with enamel however only feint traces remain. Yellow enamel fills the semi-circles whereas traces of red are found in some of the triangular cells. The head is circular, flat and has a small worn beak. The eyes are represented by a large moulded ring and dot motif that once contained enamel. On the reverse there is a pin lug beneath the tail. The remains of a catchplate is located beneath the breast.
