Description: | Copper alloy penannular buckle that is late roman in date. The sides of the frame are moulded to form two opposing beasts (possibly dolphins) with open mouths griping a lozenge in between them in the centre of the forward edge. Each animal is decorated a ring and dot for the eye and a main running down the spine of the beasts. The body of each animal curves round forming a crescent with a smaller animal head at the terminal of the tail, each of these smaller heads has a V-shaped shot mouth and ring and dot eyes. Below the mouth of the smaller beasts are rearwards projecting loops where the pin axis bar would have been mounted.Hawkes and Dunning Type IIA See SUR-886B81 for a further discussion on this type of buckle.300-450
