Title |
Roman zoomorphic brooch |
||
Description |
English: Copper alloy brooch fragment, lion bow type with bulls head. Only most of the lion, bulls head and a fragment of the bow survive; much of the surface is heavily corroded. The fully round lion figure formed the upper part of the bow (the missing back legs would have joined a hinge holding the pin). No detail survives on the back half; at the back of the base of the neck there is a row of punched small > shapes. The eyes are small punched circles, other facial features are corroded but a larger area of wavy lines on the front of the neck is probably the same as the >'s on the back. The front paws join the lower bow which is flat with several notched ribs along the centre; this is largely covered by corroded bull head which has been attached on top between the lion's paws. On the back of the flat lower bow is the scar of the catchplate. Surviving length 29mm, lower bow 8mm wide. The type is described in Hattatt (1987) who illustrates one example (no.777) found in Turkey and refers to single non-British egs in British Museum and Ashmolean, origin in Gaul late 1st century Bc - early 1st AD. |
