Description: | Cast copper alloy Roman dolphin brooch. This hinged pin example of a dolphin brooch dates from 55 to 80 AD. The brooch has a continuous curved profile, with a 'hump' extending above the wings, and the bow tapers to a point at the foot. The tubular wings are undecorated. The incomplete triangular catchplate extends one third up the length of the bow. The surface of the brooch is slightly pitted and it has a dull dark brown-black patina. It is 44.83mm long, 27.92mm wide and has a maximum thickness of 18.2mm. | 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: | 55
