Description: | Incomplete Roman copper alloy hinged Dolphin brooch. Only the wings and a small section of the bow survive. The wings are cylindrical in section and hollowed for taking the iron axis bar which is still partially in situ. The wings have an open slot at the centre to allow the hinged pin (now missing) to rotate. The head of the bow is slightly swollen where it meets the top of the bow and has a raised crest running down its length. The bow tapers towards the missing foot. This brooch has been dated in line with hinged Dolphin brooches AD c.55-100.
