Title
Dolphin brooch
Description
English: Copper-alloy Roman brooch. Dolphin type brooch of 1st C. AD date. The wings of the brooch measure 41.6mm wide and are circular in section, with a diameter of 6.8mm. They are decorated with a series of vertical moulded bands. At the very ends of each side are three raised bands, inside this is a recessed band measuring 2.5mm wide and, inside this, two further raised bands. The underside of the wings is closed apart for the rectangular pin hole at the middle. The pin is now missing but would have been held to an iron axis bar, which runs the width of the wings, thus creating a hinge mechanism. The head of the brooch is humped and runs smoothly into the bow. This has a domed upper surface and is decorated by three raised ribs, one down the centre and one on each side. The bow tapers smoothly to the pointed foot. The underside of the bow is domed and undecorated. The catchplate is damaged and contains a small hole which is part of the design. Overall, the object measures 46.7mm high by 41.6mm wide. The bow is up to 6.4mm thick. The weight is 23.39g.
