Description: | Cast copper alloy bow brooch, probably a Dolphin type, dating to the second half of the first century.The pin is missing and the catchplate is broken. It could have been hinged or sprung, the mechanism is gone. The ends of the wings are broken. There is a casting seam all along the back of the bow. There is a central ridge running the length of the front of the bow. At the end of the bow is a moulded collar before the biconical shaped foot. The surface is uneven due to corrosion, not much of the original surface is left. This makes it hard to see any decoration/pattern.
