Description: | Copper alloy.Colchester-derivative hinged Dolphin Brooch. Tubular wings with finely moulded ends conceal a thinner tubular casing holding a separate pin bar, on which the round-section pin moves freely - only the tip of pin is lost. A curved bow of markedly rectangular section bears three longitudinal ribs, which descend to a thick un-pierced catch-plate, and to a broad collared and moulded foot. The angular bow and treatment of moulded detail allies this to various brooch forms remaining common into the 2nd century AD. Both the high standard of workmanship and good preservation of the brooch are notable. Suggested date: Early Roman, 60-100. Length: 41.37mm, Width (at wings): 23.75mm, Thickness (at crest of bow): 5.50mm, Weight: 14.78gms
