Description: | Roman, copper alloy, dolphin type brooch, first century AD. The brooch is in poor condition and much of the detail is lost but would have been a sprung example. The bow is comma-shaped in profile and D-shaped in section and tapers to the foot. The wings are semi-circular. The outer face of the bow is decorated with a central vertical band with regular horizontal lines. At the rear of the object the spring and pin are missing. The catchplate is also missing. The brooch has a very pitted surface and has a mid-green patina.Similar examples can be found in Hattatt (2000, 298).
