Title
Roman dragonesque brooch
Description
English: A copper alloy Roman brooch; a Dragonesque brooch dating from AD 50 - 150. It is of Hunter (2011) type A2a with enamelled decoration. It has upright ears, decorated with red enamel in the field, and a central column of two ovals of reserved metal. The eye is circular with blue enamel in the centre surrounded by a ring of red enamel. The nose is a small circular cell of red enamel at the end of the  curved upturned snout. A strut joins the chin to the body. The body has a central rectangular panel decorated with a transverse rose of four lozenge shaped cells filled with yellow enamel. the triangles between them are red enamel and the panel is framed on the two long side with a stripe of blue enamel. The ends of the body are mirror images of each other. They have a red enamel field, on which is a scroll, bifurcated at the inner end, filled with blue enamel, with a circle of yellow at the tip and at the junction of the bifurcation. The foot is bent so it is behind the body but it appears to match the head. The copper alloy pin is wrapped round the neck, but is incomplete, about half missing. The reverse is plain.

The brooch is about 43mm long, 25mm wide and between 3 and 5mm thick. It weighs 15g.
