Description: | A copper alloy dolphin or Polden Hill brooch dating to the Roman period and probably to 75-175 AD. The object has a sub-rectangular head which has been rounded by wear. The head is concave and would have held a spring mechanism. The bow arches up and away from the head of the brooch before curving downwards and back whilst tapering to a point. There is a raised line which runs the length of the bow. The catchplate and pin are both missing.Similar objects have been recorded on the PAS database, see GLO-DC6FB6 and DUR-11CE71.
