Description: | Two joining fragments which form the larger part of a late Roman buckle of Hawkes' and Dunning's Type IIB.The frame originally had two facing dolphin-like heads with a human head between. Only one dolphin's head now survives together with the forward end of the plate. The plate has five circular apertures behind which are the edges of five rectangular apertures, and there is a rectangular slot to take the pin. There is a series of diagonal grooves around the inside edge of the frame and similar grooves also form the 'mane' of the dolphin. The eye of the dolphin is formed by a single pit.
