Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy Roman horse and rider plate brooch dating to the second century AD. The brooch is missing the rider's head and the horse's feet. The body of the horse and the rider contain enamelled panels, most of which has now degraded although traces of blue and red does survive. The brooch retains tinning or silvering over most of its face and over a small portion of the reverse. The pin and spring are formed from one piece of twisted copper alloy, while the integral catchplate is complete. Similar examples are recorded in Hattatt (2007), although the position of the horses head and the patterning of the enamel cells makes this example closest to Hattatt's no. 160, although this example is somewhat smaller than the one recorded here.
