Description: | An incomplete copper alloy brooch. It appears to be a dolphin type from the 1st century AD, Roman period. Part of the catch plate is missing, and the pin is slightly bent off centre. The brooch is a simple design, with no decoration, but contains an iron axis bar at the head within the hinge mechanism. The brooch is black/dark grey, with orange corrosion covering parts of the surface. It measures 37.8mm x 23.3mm x 14.79mm, and weighs 6.49g. A parallel can be seen in ??A visual catalogue of Richard Hattatt??s ancient brooches?? (359, p.299). | Subjects: | dolphin | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
