Probably the end of a copper alloy Dragonesque brooch, dating from the mid-first to late second centuries. The fragment probably represents a stylised animal head, although no details of the animal can be distinguished. The fragment is trefoil - one lobe is domed and the other two have a thin, curved rib along the centre. There is no other decoration, and the reverse is flat and undecorated. This fragment probably formed the terminal to an S-shaped brooch, with another animal head at the other terminal. The break is extremely worn. The fragment is 17.3mm long and 12.6mm wide. A simila…

Fragment of a cast copper alloy Roman brooch (43-410 AD). The fragment consists of the catchplate from the reverse of a copper alloy brooch. The catchplate would have held the pin at the base of the brooch. This fragment has a long shaft with a lozenge-shaped openwork projection at the foot that would have held the pin in place. At the upper edge, the lozenge-shape curves away from the shaft, before the outer edge angles it back towards the body of the brooch. The openwork design is two circular holes along the upper edge of the projection, with an openwork trefoil filling the lower tr…
