Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy Roman zoomorphic buckle. This type is classified by Hawkes and Dunning as Type IIA. The surviving half of the buckle frame is decorated with a stylised dolphin. The dolphin has a circlet eye, a collared neck and a 'fin' on the outer edge of the loop. The body is decorated with a series of transverse lines. The tail curves round close to the ring by which the buckle was hinged to its plate. The surfaces are heavily worn, removing some of the detail. The surviving length of the buckle is 28.2mm and the width is 20.1mm.
An example of another Type IIA buckle was found during the excavation of the 4th century lower west gate of the south tower iin Lincoln (Leahy 1984, 26 no. 13 fig. 2). | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 350
