Description: | Part of a copper alloy Roman Dolphin brooch, consisting of the wings and part of the bow. The bow is decorated with a single, raised, central strip and is otherwise unadorned. The wings are also plain. The foot, the pin, and the catch plate are all missing. The brooch has a pronounced 'hump' and the reverse of the wings are hollow. There is a deep slot in the centre of the wings, suggesting the brooch had a hinged pin. The brooch has a dark brown glossy patina with a few chips. It is 33.9mm long, 30.3mm wide, and 15.7mm thick. It weighs 9.27 gm. See Hattatt's number 20 on page 299 of his Visual Catalogue for a similarly shaped brooch.
