Description: | A copper alloy dragoneque brooch dating to the 1st or 2nd century AD. The object is S-shaped in plan with a dragon-style head and foot. The head is a Hunter (2010: 100) type B with an upright ear and the nose curving up and back towards the eye which is a pellet in circle motif. The body is a Hunter (2010: 97-8) type A1b with a circular device in the form of a ring and dot on a plain body. Although there is no enamel remaining, it seems likely that the devices would have functioned as cells. Part of the pin remains and is curled around the neck. Dragonesque brooches are good examples of Romano-British styles showing continuity from indigenous art styles with experimentation in new techniques.
