Description: | Part of an early Roman cast copper alloy dolphin brooch. The brooch has tubular wings, a hinged pin and curved bow, and appears to have been undecorated. The catchplate and base of the pin and bow have broken away and been lost, and the surface metal is patinated with a dark brown, stable layer overlain with soil. Brooches of this type are thought to date from the early Roman period, around AD 50-100, and many other examples can be seen on this database, for example the more complete brooch LEIC-3CFAC7.
