Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy Roman Dolphin brooch dating from the 1st Century AD. The head has lost its crest, due to a break. Behind the head there is a tubular hinged mechanism for holding the pin. The hinge mechanism and the pin no longer survive. The upper bow is triangular in section andis decorated with three parallel, vertical ridges. The bow has broken off above the foot, resulting in the loss of the foot. The remains of the catchplate can just be seen on the reverse. A similar brooch can be seen in Hattatt, p298, Fig: 157.
