Description: | A cast copper alloy dolphin brooch of early Roman date. The brooch measures 47.4mm by 20.3mm by 5.2mm and weighs 12.2g. The cylindrical wings conceal the iron axis bar for the missing iron hinged pin. The bow projects upwards and outwards from the wings, then narrows gradually to a point. On the reverse of the terminal is the slightly damaged flat catchplate. There is a longitudinal ridge along the centre of the bow and on the wings, two short diagonal incised parallel lines flank either side of the bow. There are possible traces of tinning on one side.
