Description: | Roman copper alloy zoomorphic brooch, 20.25 mm long, 10.47mm wide and 2.14mm thick. The object is in a fair condition and it weighs 0.66 grams.It is a fragment of a plate brooch from the 2nd century portraying the anterior part of a hare. The hare, pointing right, is missing part of its head, its ear, its leg and the back-end. The brooch has a total of three empty enamel cells. Starting from the right, the first two cells are trapezoidal in form while the third one is incomplete, but it probably would have been comma shaped. On the reverse side, which is flat, there is an iron staining indicating the former location of the missing semi-circular lug.
