Title
Roman enamelled zoomorphic plate brooch.
Description
English: An incomplete copper-alloy Roman enamelled zoomorphic plate brooch, which takes the shape of a duck, dating to AD 150-200. The plate/body of the duck is pointed oval in plan and it has a slightly concave lower face; the front face has an upwards protruding neck with a complete head. The duck has its wings folded and decorated with a series of crescent-shaped cells, which were filled with enamel. Between the wings is, again, a line of crescentic cells retaining orange enamel. The tail of the duck has three circular enamelled cells, which are arranged in a trefoil shape. The underside of the plate bears traces of the catch plate at the front of the duck body and a pierced double lug at the rear of the bird. The lugs house a fragment of the hinged pin. The plate is moderately damaged and the surfaces have a brownish green patina.
