Title
Roman zoomorphic plate brooch (horse)
Description
English: An incomplete cast copper-alloy zoomorphic Roman plate brooch in the form of a horse in profile galloping to the right. The brooch is missing its pin, and the 'horse' much of its tail and head. The creature is delicately cast, with thin fore and hind legs, stepped to delineate joints. The breaks at the tail suggest that it would have been knotted. The mane and ear are delineated by grooves. There are two main, thin cells within the body of the horse: one lowermost, the other above, extending back to the haunches and round on itself into the hind leg of the horse. At the fore end there are five small, sub-rectangular cells which continue the line of the second main cell described. They can also be found on a broken horse brooch from Norfolk illustrated in Hattatt (2000, 358; ref. 1181) and also on a brooch from Leicestershire recorded on this database (ref.: LEIC-4E2603), where they are enamelled. On the lower surface is an abraded catchplate towards the front of the horse. At the rear of the horse is a double pin lug. Between the lugs is a three-coiled spring and chord retained around the axis bar. As well as its losses the brooch has suffered some further damage to the head which has been pressed downwards slightly.
