Title
Roman : Dragonesque Brooch
Description
English: An incomplete cast copper alloy brooch of Roman date. The brooch is of the dragonesque type dating to the 2nd century AD.

The brooch is curvilinear with a raised central boss infilled with blue enamel. A raised border frames two recessed areas to either side of the boss which holds the remains of red enamel decoration. To one end of the brooch the dragon head terminal survives while the other has been lost to an old break. A recessed circular area is present in the terminal which also has traces of red enamel. The reverse of the brooch is undecorated and neither the pin nor catchplate remain.

The metal is a mid brownish-green colour and is worn. The brooch is 33.8mm long, 20.8mm wide, 4.7mm thick and weighs 8.5g.

Similar examples can be seen in Hattatt, p.351, fig.210.
