Description: | Cast copper alloy Dolphin brooch, or "two-piece Colchester" brooch. The brooch has semi-cylindrical wings in cross-section containing the remains of a copper alloy spring. Only half of the spring survives, which has an external chord. The wing faces are decorated with two incised lines either side of the bow, and a single incised line at each wing terminal. The bow is triangular in cross-section and has a steep mid rib with concave sides, with a moulded crest at the very top. The bow is comma shaped and tapers to an incomplete foot. The catchplate is openwork. There is a fragment of the copper alloy pin remaining within the catchplate. | 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
