Title |
A Roman Dolphin brooch |
||
Description |
English: A copper alloy Roman sprung brooch of the dolphin type, dating from AD 43-65. The brooch has a rearward hook to hold the spring mechanism, which is now missing, along with the pin. The wings are semi-cylindrical. The fronts are decorated with a vertical groove at each end and flanking the bow, and a diagonal groove from the top of the bow to the bottom corner of the wing. Single oblique grooves also decorate the top of the bow. The bow is sub-triangular in cross-section and the apex is grooved, with very fine obliqe lines on the inner face of the groove forming a herringbone pattern. There is also a ridge along each side of the bow. The foot of the bow tapers to a point. The catchplate is incomplete. The brooch has a dark green patina. It is 43.5mm long, 23.5mm wide and and 11.2mm thick. It weighs 7.68gm. Compare GLO-5BD6D3, SWYOR-0EF52C and GLO-00AF45. |
