Description: | A fragment from a copper alloy Roman brooch; a dragonesque brooch dating from 75 - 175 AD. Only one terminal of the brooch survives. It is in the form of an animal's snout with a scroll representing the upturned snout, and prominent ears that project upwards. When complete the brooch would have been a reversed S shape. It is broken across the neck which is D shaped in section. There are two ring and dot motifs on the head; one on the snout and one representing the eye. The outer ring is recessed and the centre is filled with bright blue enamel. The metal has a smooth grey patina and is pitted.
