Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy Dolphin type brooch of 1st to early 2nd century date (R. Hattatt; 1982; pp. 64-8).The wings have moulded decoration on the display side, consisting of a series of vertical grooves and ridges. The underside of the wings is hollow and there is a pierced lug at the centre, plus evidence for a second above, which would have held the now-missing axis bar, spring and pin in place. The top of the bow has a high hump and there is a central ridge which extends to the squared off foot. On the underside of the bow, the remnants of the catchplate suggest that it was open and extended two thirds of the length of the bow. The brooch measures 38.1mm high, 25.4mm wide and 15.2mm deep. The weight is 7.7g.
