Description: | A cast copper alloy Roman dolphin brooch with spring mechanism dating from 43 - 65 AD. At the top is a broken rearward-facing hook that would have held the spring. The wings are semi-circular in section and hollow to accommodate the missing spring. The front of the wings are decorated with vertical bands of beading and traces of silvering. The bow is decorated with vertical mouldings and a panel of incised oblique lines on the side. The foot is round and very small. The catch plate on the reverse is incomplete and the pin is missing. Compare examples in Hattatt (page 298) and GLO-219FC7.
