Description: | Roman cast copper alloy dolphin or T-shaped brooch, incomplete, 1st-2nd century AD. The pin is missing; it would have been held on an iron axis bar encased in the cylindrical wings. The wings are undecorated except for a faint beaded line round their ends. The bow is decorated with a raised triangular panel down the centre of the upper half, with a beaded border around; what survives of the lower bow appears to be undecorated. The lower bow is broken off; there is no trace of the catchplate. Mid brown-green surface with some light green patches. Length 26.94mm, width across wings 31.9mm, width across top of bow 10.2mm, thickness 11.3mm, weight 7.80g.
