Description: | A copper alloy Roman Brooch; a dolphin type dating from AD55 - AD100 (S. Worrall, 2007, pers. comm.). The brooch has a simple tapering bow decorated with a raised central spine. This may have carried further decoration but is corroded. The foot just tapers to a blunt point. Part of the catchplate survives. The wings are tubular with a circumferential groove at the far ends. The tube contains an axis bar and is slotted in the centre for the hinged pin. Only the head of this survives. The brooch is 35.5mm long, 24.6mm wide and 14.3mm thick. It has a dark brown patina with areas of light green corrosion.
