Description: | The head of a copper alloy roman dolphin brooch. The brooch has tubular wings (circular in cross section) and a tapering bow. The wings are decorated with transverse grooves, and there appear to be longditudinal grooves or ribs running along the bow. The style of the brooch suggests it originates from the early roman period, approximately AD 75-150.The catchplate, pin, hinge and a fragment of the bow are missing, and the object has a stable patina of a dark brown colour.
