Description: | A damaged and incomplete copper-alloy Roman brooch. A Dolphin type brooch dating from the 1st century AD. The left hand wing (as you look at it as it would have been worn) has been broken off. The remaining wing measures 12.6mm wide by 6.7mm high. It has three vertical bands containing herringbone incisions and is recessed on the underside in order to take the now-missing spring and pin. At the centre of the head is a rearward hook. The top of the bow is humped, sub-circular section, and measures 9.5mm in diameter. The bow tapers gradually to a point at the foot. The catchplate is intact and has no perforations. Its upper edge is curved so that it extends smoothly into the bow (apart from a small protrusion). It has a single narrow vertical indented line on the outer edge of its reverse side. The brooch is slightly bent and corroded. Overall, it measures 61.5mm high by 22.9mm wide and weighs 21.42g.
