An incomplete Roman copper alloy Dragonesque brooch. The S-shaped body has two terminals which take the form of a head with curved snout, although both heads are incomplete. Bayley and Butcher (2004, p123) identify these as characteristics of the Dragonesque brooch, the heads of which also have large ears and a circular sinking representing the eye. The ears are missing on this example, and the poor surface condition mean that the detail around the area of the eyes is unclear. Bayley and Butcher (ibid. p 123) state that the pin [used to secure the brooch to a garment] is looped arou…
