| Description |
English: A cast copper alloy Roman plate brooch, dating to the period c. AD 100 - 200. The brooch is in the form of a cockerel and has crescent shaped cells to each side, filled with red and blue enamel suggestive of the wing feathers. The comb is crenelated and the wattles have a small triangular cell infilled with a red enamel, the eyes are formed with a dot and circle with central red enamel infill. The tail is intact with the typical piercing at the base. The base is hollow and the pin joint and fulcrum bar are intact with a part of the catch in place but the pin is missing. The surface has a lightly pitted, dark green patina and is in very good condition. For parallels see Bayley & Butcher - p175, T214; Mackreth (2010) Vol 2, plate 126, no.14798 and Hattatt (2000), ref.167 and 620. For examples of this database see: WILT-135AA8, SUR-F4F606, and HAMP-FD5C29.
Cockerels are associated with the god Mercury. |
