Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy Roman brooch of the Dolphin type. The elements missing are the pin and the majority of the catchplate which has abraded away. The ?semi-circular section bow tapers towards the former foot. There is a single perforation hole through the front of the head. This would presumably have held an axis bar about which the pin would have hinged. Either side of the head are the two side wings, slightly concave on their undersides. Both have been abraded, particularly at their terminals. They are both decorated with a pair of transverse grooves approximately 3.6mm from the bow. The bow features parallel decoration in the form of a prominent medial ridge. Roman, mid-1st century in date.
