Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy dolphin type brooch of Roman (mid 1st century) date.The wings consist of a horizontally-aligned half cylinder, the upward angled underside of which would have held the now-missing spring. At the centre of the head's underside is a double perforated lug, the lower for the axis bar, the upper for the external chord (both missing). Decorating the upper surface of the wings is a series of vertical grooves and ridges. The lug for the external chord has a notch at its base and extends into a high vertical ridge flanked by two lower ridges, which forms a central band on the upper surface of the bow. The lower part of the bow is missing, as is the foot. The brooch measures 29.6mm long, up to 31.8mm wide and 14.4mm deep. The weight is 9.25g.
