Description: | An incomplete Roman (AD 50-150) dolphin brooch (Colchester derivitive), missing the pin and roughly half of the catchplate and conjoined bow. Measures 44.96mm in length and weighs 14.02g.The C-shaped in cross-section wing span is 27.10mm, with the 11-coil spring behind being slightly longer at 30.09mm. The cord passes above the spring through the top hole of a double-pierced lug, the axis bar being through the lower.The brooch is apparently plain, although it is rather worn. Either side of the double pierced lug as it joins the top of the bow is an oblique groove.The bow is oval in cross-section where it extends from the wings 7x7.32mm, narrowing to 2.95mm wide at the (old) break. The catchplate is 8.69mm deep at the break.
