Description: | Incomplete copper-alloy Roman brooch. Dolphin type brooch of 1st C. AD date. Fragment consists of the bow, head and damaged wings. Little trace remains of the left hand wing (as you look at it as it would have been worn). The right hand wing is also badly damaged. The remaining portion measures approximately 2mm long by 6.9mm high and is recessed on the reverse, in order to take a spring (missing). The head is plain and runs smoothly into the bow. The bow is undecorated and reasonably sturdy in appearance. It has a curved upper surface and flat underside and measures 41.8mm long by 6.7mm wide at the top, tapering to 4.2mm wide at the damaged foot. There is no trace of a catchplate. The weight is 11.64g.
