Description: | A Roman copper alloy incomplete "Dolphin" Colchester derivative brooch (circa 1st century AD). The foot, spring, pin and part of one wing are broken and missing. The wings are decorated with moulded transverse grooves and there is one perforated end plate remaining. The wings curve to accommodate the axis bar and the bow has a moulded perforated tab, for the external chord, that resembles the forward chord hook of earlier examples. Similar examples were found within military contexts at Usk (Manning 1995:75-76 fig.24). Dimensions: length: 38.21mm; width: 26.90mm; weight: 12.03g. Reference: Manning, W. H. 1995. Report on the Excavations at Usk 1965-1976. The Roman Small Finds. University of Wales Press, Cardiff.
