Description: | Complete and slightly bent copper alloy Roman dolphin brooch with hinge-mechanism, the wings and top of bow being bent. The pin is also bent. The wingspan is 22mm and bent length 54mm. It weighs 7.45g. The axis bar is intact but broken, so that one end slides out while the other is concreted in place. The bow is circular in section, being rather more oval where it extends from the front of the wings (7mm wide). Where it extends into the catchplate it is flat to either side (the catchplate is max.15mm deep). There is no decoration apparant anywhere on the brooch although tooling marks are visible on the catchplate. The patina is mostly smooth and shiny 1st-2nd century | 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
