Description: | An incomplete (possibly) Dolphin brooch, from the 1st century AD. The brooch has been cast in copper alloy. The remaining part of the brooch consists of the complete wings, with a coiled spring set into the reverse. The pin is missing and the spring is heavily corroded. The bow is complete and has bevelled edges. The foot is rounded and has a flat terminal. There is incised decoration to the outer edges of the wings. The catch plate is also missing. The metal is very worn and corroded. The surface is pitted. The metal has a mid brownish-green colour. This brooch is similar to examples in Hattatt, 2000, p299, Fig. 158.
