Description: | This is a copper alloy, 1st century AD dolphin brooch (AD75-175). In style, it is consistent with the Polden Hill type with semi-cylindrical wings terminated with a perforated lug. This example is undecorated on both the high arched, tapering bow and wings. One side of the crossbar retains remnants of the original axis bar and of the spring. The top lug, pin, remaining spring and catch plate are now missing. The surface is covered with a light green corrosion and there is an element of ferrous corrosion at the pin attachment point, suggestive of the pin being ferrous.
