Description: | An incomplete Roman (AD 50-150) copper alloy Colchester Derivative brooch of Dolphin or T-shaped type, with hinge mechanism. It is missing one tubular wing and part of the top of the bow, the pin and part of the catchplate. It measures 43.16mm in incomplete length and weighs 8.3g.The surviving width of the brooch is 21.66mm, across the surviving wing to the widest part of the surviving bow. Originally the wings would have spanned c.38mm. The surviving wing measures 4.7mm in diameter and is decorated to the front with three pairs of double transverse grooves, each of which has a rib between decorated with transverse grooves.The bow extends from the top of the wings and is max.10.16mm wide, with a rib-like flange to either side for c.12mm of the length. This flange is decorated with transverse grooves. The bow has a central raised area comprising three ribs, decorated with transverse grooves to give the impression of many little squares. The ribs converge in a V-shape with a grooved lozenge superimposed over the base of the V. It is just below here to the reverse that the catchplate extends, 9.26mm deep. The bow narrows to 2.12mm at the break.
