Who came up with that idea ? No it's a dog. Looks more like this than that. At a stretch of the imagination there is a similarity. This one is Celtic but I remember reading that dogs were of great importance to many of the ancient cultures.

Hi guys, the brooch is with the FLO, I have just heard it is earlier than I thought....It is (Iron Age) a Birdlip Brooch, and dates to 45 BC although some can be up to 50 AD.. Not many are recorded or found for that matter, this one being one of if not the best, just thought you would be interested as it had a lot of interest....Spikey. Wink

Excellent Paul. Seems all our guesses were wrong. Never even heard of a Birdlip Brooch. Makes all the more special.
Very well found.
