Description: | Fragment of Romano-British/Early Saxon copper alloy buckle frame of Hawkes and Dunning (1961) Type IIA consisting of over half of the outside edge, one side and one half of the bar with a fragment of one cylindrical hinge attachment. The moulded surfaces are abraded in some places but retain a shiny patina in others. In the centre of the outside edge a rounded motif with two drilled blind holes near the edge may be intended to represent a handled vessel or urn. The surviving dolphin is pierced by two round holes, one of which may signify an eye and the other the open mouth. On the sides and bar the body of the dolphin is indicated by gadroon mouldings. The end of the bar is not an upswept tail but apparently more simple such as in a buckle from Duston, Northamptonshire (ibid. fig.17 f). 25 x (estimated) 48mm. Thickness 3.5mm. 4th century or later. | 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: | 300
