Object type: BROOCH
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Flintshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast iron brooch dating to the Roman period, (45-410AD). The brooch is highly corroded and therefore not much detail can be seen. The head of the brooch is flat and the bow arches outwards towards the foot. From this arch we can assume that the brooch is of dolphin type, however due to the corrosion this is not certain. The object narrows towards the foot. The catchplate is high and wide. The pin is missing. It is in very poor condition.

Object type: BROOCH
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Flintshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast iron brooch dating to the Roman period, (45-410AD). The brooch is highly corroded and therefore not much detail can be seen. The head appears to be flat and the bow arches outwards. It is curved in profile. Due to its arched bow it is possible that the brooch is a dolphin type of brooch which dates from 43-65AD. However it is also possible that the corrosion is distorting the shape causing it to appear more curved than it is. It is in very poor condition.
