Description: | Copper alloy.Small Colchester-derivative Dolphin Brooch with plain semi-tubular wings bearing moulded groove at each end, presumably masking a spring for fastening (now lost); this example lacks any trace of a hook to retain the chord. The bow has a markedly humped head, flat-ended where it meets the wings, and is of slightly angular section, bearing a medial rib with filed billeting decoration, closely flanked by a further pair of narrow ribs; the appearance is of atypically fine decoration. The bow tapers towards a plain catch-plate. One of several similar brooches from this location.Length: 42.69mm, Width: 25.77mm, Thickness(at crest of bow): 6.63mm, Weight: 10.35gms.Suggested date: Early Roman, 40-60
