Description: | Incomplete Roman copper-alloy buckle of Hawkes and Dunning Type IIA. The buckle would have been made up of a separate loop, tongue, and plate, held together by a pin. The loop is formed by a pair of confronted dolphins with gaping jaws and with the tail forming an involuted terminal. The dolpin on the left hand side is complete, only the snout of the dolphin on the right hand side remains. The crest is low, although this may be a result of heavy wear. Beneath the tail there survives one of the two hinge-rings which held the pin that secured the buckle to its plate and held the tongue. The face of the buckle is very worn, although the circular eye survives and there is evidence that the body of the dolphin was decorated with a row of punched dots. | Subjects: | Hawkes and Dunning Type IIA | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
