Object Description
A Romano-British bronze brooch in the form of two sea creatures, possibly fish or dolphins, on either side of a footed vase-like shape. The fish are shown in profile, with curved bodies that widen towards the head. Each creature has a fin on top of its head and a flared tail. The piece is further enriched with circles of blue and red enamel throughout. The reverse of the brooch is plain except for the original hinged pin holder and the catch plate, though the pin is now missing. The fibula has some remnants of its original gilding to its surface.
Date: Circa 1st – 3rd Century AD
