Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy Roman bird brooch, in the form of a chicken. Most of the body of the bird survives apart from a small area on its lower back that is broken and missing. The bird has a upright cockscomb, a small beak and a large ring-and-dot eye. No other body parts are clearly defined. The underside of the bird is hollow; the small catchplate remains but the pin and hinge are missing. This type of brooch dates to c. AD 70-150.
