Title
BROOCH
Description
English:

An incomplete copper alloy Roman Colchester derivative Dolphin type brooch dating to the period AD 43 - 100. The pin is missing and parts of one of the wings have broken off. The brooch measures 37.11 mm in length, 18.84 mm maximum width (across the wings), and weighs 4.58 g.

The head exhibits D-shape in section wings which are undecorated. The wings house the axis bar on which the copper alloy missing pin would be mounted. Projecting from the head there is an oval in cross-section bow. It measures 5.21 mm in width, below the head, tapering away to 1.28 mm at which point it flattens and widens out to form the catch-plate. The catch-plate is 9.98 mm at its widest and is broadly triangular.

The brooch is undecorated and has a smooth dark green patina.
