Object Description
A Roman bronze zoomorphic plate brooch, perhaps of a dog, shown in profile. The body of the animal is stocky, with its four legs and musculature clearly shown. Its tail is very long and S-shaped, curving back on itself at its end. The face of the animal shows one ear and one eye, with its jaws wide open. In its mouth it holds what may be either its young or its prey. The brooch is in excellent condition with its original pin still intact.
Date: Circa 1st – 3rd Century AD
