English: A copper-alloy zoomorphic brooch dating to the later second century AD. The brooch is intended to represent a bird, probably a duck. The brooch comprises a flat, approximately lozengiform plate, intended to represent the body of the bird. The plate has a marginal rib which is decorated with a series of notches and expands slightly to form two 'wings' which are parallel with each other. The marginal rib encloses a lozengiform cell, which may originally have contained enamel. At the centre of the lozengiform cell is a small circular rib which creates a circular cell. This appears to contain remnants of degraded red enamel. At one end the plate expands to form a tail, which is bent slightly upwards and is decorated with two diagonal grooves, representing tail feathers. The tail hides the two semi-circular perforated pin lugs. There is iron corrosion in both perforations suggesting that the axis bar or pin, which are now missing, were made of iron.At the other end, there extends an oval-section, hook-shaped expansion, intended to represent the head of the duck. The eyes of the duck are picked out as small crescental grooves. On the underside of the head end of the plate, there is a small, semi-circular catchplate. The brooch measures 34mm in length, 16mm in width and 17mm in thickness.
