Description: | A cast copper-alloy buckle frame of probable Late Roman date. It has a D-shaped on which two animals' heads confront each other over the bar. These animals are not chip-carved and their moulded decoraton was formed by casting. Each has a large, lentoid eye set within an oval frame. Behind each animal's head is a ruff-like collar moulding. The loop is flat sectioned and bears a band of cabled descoration wet between two plain bands.This object is difficult as it appears to be a Late Roman buckle of Hawkes and Dunning (1961) Type III but the cast decoration and forms of the heads is unlike that seen on other buckles of the type. It might be seen a local copy of one of these buckles.
