Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy buckle of late Roman to early-medieval date. The buckle is of Hawkes and Dunning type 1A. The buckle is D-shaped in both plan and section, The curved side of the frame is decorated with an incised geometric design which is possibly a stylized representation of the dolphin forms more common of this type. A line of raised dots also runs along this side. The reverse is flat and undecorated.The frame terminates in two loops which would have held the separately cast strap bar. Iron corrosion within the loops suggests the bar would have been made of iron.The metal is a mid brownish-green colour and survives in good condition. The buckle is 25.6mm long, 25.6mm wide, 6mm thick and weighs 4.9g.
