Description: | Incomplete copper alloy Roman dolphin brooch, missing its foot, spring mechanism and pin. The wings are flat with an incised line flanking each end. The bow extends above the wings and narrows to its break. There is a tiny horizontal incised line just before the break. Extending from the hump of the bow is a rearward facing hook, now mostly obscured by a large amount of iron corrosion which spreads into the wing-space and probably comprises remains of the pin and spring mechanism. Beneath the top of the bow is a whitish coloured corrosion. Incomplete length is 32mm. Wingspan is 26mm. The brooch is slightly bent out of shape. 1st century AD.
