Description: | An incomplete (possibly) Dolphin brooch, from the 1st century AD. The brooch has been cast in copper alloy. The remaining part of the brooch consists of the complete wings, with a coiled spring set into the reverse. The spring has an external chord, held on by a bent over lug. The pin is missing and the spring is heavily corroded. The bow is incomplete and has an oval section. The foot and catchplate have broken off. The metal is very worn and corroded. The surface is pitted. The metal has a mid brownish-green colour. This brooch is similar to examples in Hattatt, 2000, p299, Fig. 158. | Subjects: | Dolphin | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
