Description: | An incomplete copper alloy Roman sprung dolphin brooch. The brooch has a small, semi-circular head, concave to the reverse to hold the sprung pin fitting. This and the pin itself is now missing. The bow extends from the centre of this, upawards slightly first, before tapering gently downwards towards the foot. The bow and foot are semi-circular in section and undecorated apart from two faint curved ridges, one to either side, extending along their length. There is a small protrusion to the rear of the bow, where it joins the head, presumably the remains of a small lug intended to secure the chord in place. The foot of the brooch is erroded into a point and the catch-plate is missing.Length: 43.87mm, Width: 18.57mm, Thickness: 9.50mm, Weight: 9.2g
