Description: | A copper alloy dolphin brooch dating to the late first century AD. The head comprises two semi-circular wings with marginal ribs. The wings would have enclosed the spring mechanism which is now missing. On the underside of the head there is a semi-circular perforated lug. A fragment of a circular section axis bar pierces the lug. The bow is arched and humped where it meets the head. There is a pronounced rib running its length. The bow tapers slightly and ends in a rounded foot. The catchplate is triangular and openwork. The brooch measures 28mm in length, the head has a width of 17mm, the bow 5mm. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Walton, Phillippa - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
