Title
Late Roman copper alloy buckle
Description
English: An incomplete cast copper-alloy fragment originating from a zoomorphic brooch dating to the late Roman period, c. 350-450 AD. It originally would have been broadly rectangular in plan with a straight strap-bar. Only a small fragment of the outer frame survives. It takes the form of a pair of dolphin-like animal. Originally there were probably two dolphins facing each other and conjoined at the mouth. Just prior to the snout of a small circular pit within a circle presumably the eye. Preserved in good condition with an even green patina, it measures 28.00mm long , and 11mm wide by 2.00mm. It weighs 2.24g. Probably Hawkes and Dunning's Type IIa.

This buckle falls into a class of belt buckles and fittings associated with the Late Roman military (Hawkes and Dunning 1961; Leahy, K. 2007, The Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Lindsey, Tempus, Stroud, fig. 6, especially no. 9; Leahy1984, 'Late Roman and Early Germanic Metalwork from Lincolnshire', in Field, N. and White. A. (eds), A Prospect of Lincolnshire, F N Field & A J White, Lincoln, pages 23-32, fig. 2 no. 15).
