Description: | Part of a copper alloy Dragonesque brooch, it consists of a slim neck and zoomorphic face with a stylised eye and nose. It is probably of the East Brigantian type since it has a raised, upwards pointing 'ear'. It is likely that the brooch originally incorporated enamelling although none of this remains; it has a green patina. This fragment probably represents a little less that half of the full brooch. See, Ancient and Romano-British Brooches, Hattat, p152-157. Dating probably from the later part of the 1st century AD. The length is 24mm, the width is 22mm thickness and the weight 2.74g.
