Description: | A fragment of a cast copper alloy early Roman hinged dolphin brooch. The brooch is T-shaped, with a short cross bar containing an aperture for the pin bar. The cross bar is circular in cross section, and is decorated with transverse grooves. The bow is curved and D-shaped in cross section. This brooch is similar to several T-shaped brooches in the Richborough collection, including 224 (Bayley & Butcher, p.94) and A5 (p. 266), which date from AD 50-100 (for full reference see below).The pin bar, pin, catchplate and the end of the bow are missing. There is an irregular groove visible on the bow which may be the result of plough damage. The surface is pitted and the patina ranges in colour from dark brown to green.
