Description: | A worn and corroded fragment of a cast copper-alloy single-looped dolphin buckle frame of late Roman date. It consists of one single dolphin head, moulded in low relief, with an open snout that has broken short of the object it would have held. It has a large circular eye formed of a punched ring-and-dot motif, and a long and low crest runs along the top of the head. The lower surface of the buckle is flat and undecorated. The buckle has corroded to a variable red-brown colour. This buckle is similar to those illustrated in Appels and Laycock (2007, 168 ff.).
