Description: | A large enamelled copper-alloy brooch in the form of a sitting duck or cockrel. The brooch dates to the early Roman period. The body is convex in cross-section and pointed oval in plan. The head is narrow with a curved beak and large circular eyes. On the top of the head is a narrow crest. There are recessed bands around the eyes that were probably once enamelled. The body is decorated with two recessed lines down the back that contain blue enamel. Both wings contain two rows of comma-shaped cells containing blue enamel. A catchplate is located beneath the neck and two lugs are located beneath the tail. The pin is missing.
