Description: | An incomplete Roman (AD 50-150) copper alloy Dolphin (or Colchester Derivative) brooch, missing its spring mechanism and pin. The bow is bent slightly to one side. The brooch measures 45.63mm in length and weighs 4.8g.The wings are C-shaped in cross-section (with a hollowed area for the spring) and span 18.40mm. They are decorated to the front with a single transverse groove flanking one end - the other end is a little worn so the probable groove is missing. To the reverse is a double-pierced lug, the top part of which extends above the wings into the top of the bow.The bow extends from the top front of the wings in a narrow hump, D-shaped in cross-section and 5.20x6.98mm. It narrows to 1.10mm wide at the foot and is apparently undecorated (although patches of patina are missing). The catchplate extends behind, 15.65mm tall, the curl intact.
