Description: | A copper alloy dolphin buckle dating to the late Roman to early Medieval period (350-450 AD). The frame is open, flat and rectangular in section and is in the form of two stylised dolphins, balancing an egg or globe on their heads. The dolphins' eyes are rendered as moulded ring and dot motifs and they possess pairs of triangular crests on their backs. At the base of their tails extend two circular lugs with circular perforations, through which is threaded an axis bar. Part of the pin loop is wrapped around the axis bar as is a small fragment of the buckle plate. The buckle measures 25mm in length and 25mm in width.
