Description: | A fragment of a Roman copper alloy Dolphin or Polden Hill brooch, 17.9mm long by up to 11.5 wide and weighing 3.5 grams. The brooch is missing most of the wings from the spring case, the spring, pin, the lower part of the bow and the catch plate, and is consideraby worn.The bow has a D-shaped cross section and is decorated with a central raised longitudinal rib with parallel incised lines at each side, with small rounded projections to either side at the back of the wings. The bow tapers slightly to the break, which appears to be an old one, as the green patination is uniform over all exposed surfaces.
