Incomplete cast copper alloy Roman brooch. Only the wings and upper part of the bow survive. The brooch is of sprung Dolphin type although the spring, pin and associated fittings on the wings for taking the spring are now missing. The wings are near semi-circular in profile and rectangular in plan. The wings carry simple decoration consisting of a single incised diagonal groove to either side of the head of the brooch which run from the bottom outer corner of the wing to the top of the head. Where the bow meets the wings there is a slight depression on the inside of the wings, to allow the pin to rotate more easily. The bow is rounded and swollen at the top, where it meets the wings, starting as oval in section and becoming more circular in section as it narrows towards the missing foot.<\/p>\n
