Description: | Part of a cast copper alloy dolphin brooch probably dating from the first century AD. The surviving part of the brooch is 27.2mm in length and weighs The cylindrical wings measure 6mm in diameter and 32.72mm in length. They conceal an iron hinged pin, corroded traces of which can be seen in the centre of the reverse and on part of the wings. The only visible decoration on the wings is a horizontal groove on one side of the bow. Iron corrosion hides any further decoration. The curving bow has a wide slightly convex central ridge, which is decorated with three unequally spaced horizontal grooves. This ridge becomes less pronouced as the bow narrows towards the missing foot. On the back of the brooch there is a central longitudinal groove around 2.5mm in width which is present along the length of the surviving bow. | 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: | 43
