Title
Romano-British/Early Saxon buckle frame (drawn by Jason Gibbons)
Description
English: Romano-British/Early Saxon buckle frame of Hawkes and Dunning type IIA, found as two fragments on two separate occasions. The dolphin's crest and body are decorated with lines of punched dots, those on the crest joined by obliquely engraved lines. the eye is represented by a punched dot below two concentric crescents, either punched or engraved. The jaws are widely opened with a large aperture between them. The upper 'lip' and that of the counterpart dolphin are curled outwards. The ball grasped between the jaws is in the form of a human mask, with five vertical grooves for hair, single transverse grooves for brow and mouth, and ring-and-dots for eyes. Traces of white-metal coating or solder on reverse. Estimated width 50mm. Breaks across sides and outside edge are ancient, but there is also recent damage. Late 4th- early 5th century.
