Description: | Fragment of Early Roman copper alloy Dolphin brooch, 1st century AD. See Hattat 2000 (A Visual Catalogue of Richard Hattat's Ancient Brooches, Oxbow Books page 298, no 356 and 352). The bow is 'D' shaped and the sprung pin is missing. The spring would have been held within two cylindrical lugs on an axis bar. The wings are circular in section and have a consistent diameter. The front of each wing is decorated with two engraved lines which are angled from the top of the bow to the bottom edge of each wing, and curve round the wing. The bow arches away from the wings and then curves back. It is widest where it meets the wings and tapers to the broken end. The bow front is decorated with two hatched ribs running from the crest downwards. The fragment is 33mm long, 17mm wide including wings, 9mm thick and weighs 3.62g.
