Description: | A copper alloy Roman dolphin brooch. The bow is arched and D shaped in section. The bow has two vertical ribs which meet mid bow; on each side of these ribs is a groove. These grooves cross at the mid bow point and flank a further vertical rib which runs the length of the foot. At the base of this rib are three horizontal grooves. The wings are tubular and plain. They enclose an axis bar, with a slot to accommodate the pin. Only a small part of the pin survives in situ. The back of the wings are coated in iron corrosion. The catchplate is triangular but worn and damaged. The brooch measures 30mm in length. The bow has a maximum width of 6mm. The wings have a width of 20mm. | 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
