Description: | Tiny copper alloy Roman dolphin brooch, missing its pin, lower bow and foot, and one end of the tubular wings is slightly damaged. Incomplete length is 21mm, wingspan is 22mm. Two slender vertical mouldings lie either side of the D-sectioned bow as it extends from the wings. The brooch appears to have a forward facing hook, of a darker-coloured copper alloy. Possibly a remnant of the broken pin? Iron staining visible at both tubular wing ends and around pin remains. 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
