Description: | A copper alloy Roman sprung Dolphin brooch dating to the period AD 43-65. The brooch is incomplete and all that remains are the wings and part of the bow. The wings are semi-circular in profile and are decorated with two (possibly more) vertical incised lines. In the centre of the wings is the start of the bow. At the top there appears to be the remnants of a hook or lip (which is missing) and this leads down as a raised section along the top of the bow. On either side of the bow are raised semi-circular sections which then lead into the wings. The bow narrows sharply beneath the top decorated section and is incomplete. Cf Hattatt, R, 2007, A Visual Catalogue of Richard Hattatt's Ancient Brooches, Oxbow Books, Oxford p 298 no 883 (although that example is undecorated).
