Description: | Complete dolphin brooch with hinge mechanism. The wings appear to be a solid tube with a hole drilled for the axis bar; the AE pin survives complete but corroded into a closed position. The fronts of the wings are decorated with alternating broad grooves and ridges, the latter with transverse ribbing. They are relatively long at 34 mm. The bow is decorated at the top with the same vertical decoration as the wings; this stops at the outermost point and is replaced by the same motif but horizontal. This decoration continues down to a little out-turned foot-knob. Catchplate on reverse, with pin just out of the fold. 1st century AD.
