Description: | A fragment of a cast copper alloy buckle of late Roman date. The zoomorphic buckle is of Hawkes and Dunning type IIA being symmetrical in design. Roughly one third of the buckle remains consisting of a curved frame with ovate section and both ends terminate in worn breaks though a slight projection remains at the strap bar end. On the outer edge of the frame is an integrally cast projection in the form of a perching bird though the finer detail has been lost due to wear. The remaining fragment of the brooch appears otherwise undecorated. The metal has a light brownish-green patina and is worn. The buckle fragment is 31.4mm long, 21.8mm wide, 5.5mm thick and weighs 7.2g. Similar examples on the PAS database BH-C63EA1 and YORYM-BB13D0.
