Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy buckle frame. Only the outer edge of this frame survives, measuring 41.9mm by 8.3mm, it has a U-shaped dip in its centre. The shape of the outer edge of this frame is reminiscent of late Roman buckles which depict two facing dolphins represented in side profile. The shape of the outer edge of this buckle frame similar to one discovered in Leicester in its Roman town of Ratae Coritanorum. This has been classified by Hawkes and Dunning (1961 50-53, fig 17, i) as type 11A, this example also has a spherical 'ball' held inbetween the dolphins in their open mouths. There are also more complete and less worn parallels known from Suffolk, for example from Little Waldingfield (see SF-1EB4D0).
