Title |
Roman zoomorphic plate brooch |
||
Description |
English: Copper alloy in the form of a bird of prey, probably an eagle, eating its prey, probably a hare. Missing the spring/pin, damaged lug and catchplate and missing part of the back let of the bird; some areas of corrosion on the front surface but white metal survives over most of the front. The pin was sprung on a single lug; traces of iron corrosion beside the lug might represent an iron pin. The catchplate is a tall, transversely set bar with hooked top (similar to knee brooch types). The bird and prey are hollow-backed with surface as cast. The front is in low relief, with openwork beak and hare body, and strongly modelled wing with linear wing grooves. Both hare and bird have circular dots for the eyes, the bird eye being particularly deep and with a ring to emphasise (now also rather corroded). Length 37mm, maximum plate thickness 4mm. The type is uncommon (see Hattatt 1987 no.1161 for list of known egs) but the most similar is one from Hockwold (East Anglian Archaeology 31, 1986, 65-67, no.25) which could be from an identical mould. The spring method indicates British manufacture. |
