Description: | Dolphin with hinge mechanism, pin below hinge, catchplate & foot missing. The tubular wings are both decorated with two knurled ribs on each side of reel motif. An iron spindle has badly corroded the rear of the head. The sides of the angular D-section bow are decorated with three (probably once four) diagonal knurled ribs extending from a median knurled rib to the sharply defined rear edges. The base of the bow & foot are badly corroded. Wherever corrosion is absent, the brooch's surface carries thick tinning. Interestingly the decoration on the bow (but not that of the foot) is very similar to that on a sprung Dolphin illustrated by Hattatt (no. 352.). Wingspan 32mm, length 39+mm. Mid 1st cent. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
