Description: | A copper alloy Roman dolphin brooch with a hinged mechanism. The brooch has a thick, tapered bow, possibly with stamped decoration on the sides. It is broken above the foot, with only a small section of the catchplate surviving. The upper part of the bow is wide and slightly humped in profile with a vertical ridge down the centre. The wings are plain and cylindrical, with a recess to accommodate the pin. The upper part of the pin survivies, with a flat, triangular plate where it joins the brooch. The brooch is worn with loss of some of the surface. | 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
