Description: | A cast copper-alloy roman dolphin brooch. The plain tubular wings conceal a hinged pin mechanism. Iron corrosion around the edges of the wings suggests that the hinge had an iron axis bar. The pin is missing. Midway down the humped bow is three rectangular enamel cells in a vertical line. All three cells are now empty. Below the cells, the bow has a central vertical rib. The bow tapers to a pointed foot. The catchplate is incomplete and has a length of 11.8mm and a width of 5.1mm. The complete length of the brooch is 31.9mm, the width is 24.2mm and the weight is 6.12g. | Subjects: | Dolphin | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Staves, Lisa - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
