Description: | A cast copper alloy zoomorphic buckle of Hawkes and Dunning Type IA dating from 300-410 AD. The buckle consists of a D-shaped single loop frame with a straight integral bar. The frame decoration consists of two horses heads emerging from the top of the frame, facing away from each other. The frame is decorated with dot decoration, with two dots forming the eyes of the animal heads. The reverse of the frame is flat and appears to be undecorated. The buckle is incomplete with the pin missing. The object is very worn, with a lot of decorative detail lost. It has a dark green patina.See Appels and Laycock (2007) Roman buckles and military fittings, chapter 8, pg206-214.
