Description: | Roman cast copper alloy dolphin brooch, incomplete. The spring and pin are missing; the spring would have been held within the semi-cylindrical wings. There is a small projection at the top of the head (not a hook). Each wing is decorated with a knurled diagonal line leading downwards from the head of the bow to the lower corners. The bow is decorated with three longitudinal lines (one central, one either side). The triangular catchplate has a circular piercing, presumably to take a chain; the fold of the catchplate is damaged. Mid blue-green surface. Length 46.90mm, width across wings 23.51mm, width at top of bow 8.3mm, thickness c.16mm, weight 8.75g. | Subjects: | dolphin | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Atherton, Rachel - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
