Description: | An incomplete copper alloy Roman Dolphin brooch dating from about 43-65 AD. The wings of the brooch are cylindrical in section. The axis bar for the pin is encased within the wings and one corroded end is most visible. There is a sub rectangular slot at the midpoint on the back of the wings; there is light corrosion inside. The bow of the brooch is broadest where it meets the wings and tapers towards the foot. The wings are decorated with two moulded collars at either end. The bow of the brooch is decorated with four raised ribs which run down the midpoint, joining near the foot which has been marked by three moulded collars; the foot juts forward slightly. The pin is missing but the catchplate remains. The brooch has an uneven mixture of dark brown, light and medium green patina; light orange corrosion highlights features. Compare LEIC-1733F3.
