Title
Dolphin brooch
Description
English: A copper alloy two part Colchester brooch dating to the period 43 to 75.

The brooch has a sub-rectangular head which is semi-circular in profile to carry to the spring which is no longer present. The base of the hook on a small crest on the head is still present and this would have helped to stabilise the mechanism. The bow arches away from the head and tapers gradually to a point with a typical vertical groove running the length of the bow. There is no foot and part of the catchplate is present on the reverse.

Similar examples are listed in Bayley and Butcher (2004: 82-89, 155-157) and they cite excavated examples which are from early first century AD contexts.
