Description: | A cast copper alloy dolphin brooch of early Roman date. The cylindrical wings, which conceal the axis bar for the missing hinged pin, measure 26.41mm in length and 5.29mm in diameter. Overall, the brooch is 40.29mm in length and weighs 7.37g. There is a central ridge on the upper part of the bow which is flanked by slight linear depressions. A vertical linear groove runs parallel to the end of each wing, but this is the only other clearly surviving decoration. The bow narrows towards the foot, behind which is an incomplete flat catchplate. | Subjects: | Dolphin | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Payne, Naomi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
