Title
head of Roman dolphin brooch
Description
English: An incomplete Roman copper alloy hinged Colchester derivative Dolphin type brooch. The pin of the brooch is missing below the hinge and so is the catchplate. The ends of both the wings and the lower part of the bow have broken off. The wings are tubular and where the wings are broken the iron axis which would have secured the missing hinged pin is exposed. The bow is D-shaped in section and tapers towards the missing foot. It has a moulded crest extending from the head and tapering towards the lower bow. This crest is defined by longitudinal grooves at either side on the bow.
