Description: | A very worn, incomplete cast copper-alloy Roman Dolphin brooch. Following an old break an amount of the lower bow is missing in addition to reverse catchplate. The pin is also missing. The sub-hexagonal bow tapers towards the former foot. There is a single perforation hole through the front of the head holding the axis bar on which three incomplete coils survive on either side. Set back slightly from the head are the two side wings, slightly concave on their undersides. Both have been abraded, particularly at their terminals. They are decorated with a groove and raised transverse rib approximately 4.5mm from the bow. The bow?s decoration echoes this in that there is a median rib, flanked by two pairs of grooves and raised ribs on either side. Dark green patina. Roman, mid-1st century in date. | 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: | 50
