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 but short wings, with the hinge mechanism set into the reverse. The pin is missing and the mechanism is heavily corroded. The bow is complete and is long and tapering. The foot is rounded and has a flat terminal. The catch plate is also missing. The metal is very worn and corroded. The surface is pitted. The metal has a dark brownish-green colour. This brooch is similar to examples in Hattatt, 2000, p299, Fig. 158.
