Description: | An incomplete Roman (AD 50-150) copper alloy dolphin brooch (Colchester derivative) with spring mechanism (badly corroded but about eight), and missing the pin and lower bow and catchplate. Measures 25.59mm in length and weighs 9.5g.The wings, which are C-shaped in section, span 26.13mm (the spring behind is 26.85mm wide). To the reverse is a double-pierced lug for the axis bar and the cord, both in situ though very worn and abraded. The bow projects from the top of the wings in a hump (6.74x8.85mm, oval in cross-section) narrowing to the break 2.75x2.32mm. The bow is badly damaged just above this and has much of the patina.
