Description: | Small dolphin brooch with missing foot. The wings are 21 mm long and are curved in section with the stub of a rear-facing hook at the centre. The ends are fragmentary, but there is an undecorated section on each wing next to the bow and the ends have a broad vertical groove outside a narrower one. The bow is very narrow (3 mm wide at the break) and has traces of decoration at the top ? a ridge running down from the hook on the top, with transverse nicks either side. The ridge appears to flare and then taper to make a lozengiform moulding. 1st century AD. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1
