Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy openwork zoomorphic belt buckle of Late Roman date. The buckle's loop and openwork plate are cast as one, making this a Hawkes and Dunning type IIB. The buckle is symmetrical along the longitudinal axis and the loop's outside edge is moulded to resemble a pair of stylised facing dolphins. The dolphins curve around to form the rest of the loop and one tail protrudes from the inside edge, adjacent to where the missing pin would have sat, although the other has been broken off. Part of the adjacent openwork plate has also been preserved. Working away from the loop, this consists of a central oval hole for the pin, flanked by two small circular holes towards the edge of the plate, followed by three larger fairly evenly spaced circular holes and then the stubs of three further openings. The surfaces of the object are fairly worn. The dimensions are 33.08mm by 33.3mm by 3.71mm and it weighs 12.87g. | 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
