Description: | Roman copper alloy dolphin brooch fragment of 1st century AD date. The fragment consists of the upper bow and one of the wings. The brooch would have had a spring mechanism but it is unclear which type of mechanism was employed, the rear of the head has the remnants of a lug, which may have been a rearward claw. The wings and upper bow were decorated with mouldings, although little of the design survives, there is the suggestion of a vertical moulding on the wing, and the sides of the head are stepped and decorated with short incised lines. The upper bow has a circular section, although it has suffered from corrosion. | 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
