The heavily stylised heads are slightly wider than the rest of the frame; each has a groove at the top and bottom and an incuse pellet eye. A line of pellets extends along the upper surface of the neck of each animal, with a line of cross-hatched grooves on the outer surface of the trapezoidal-sectioned frame.Length: 21.6mm; width: 30.3mm; thickness: 3.5mm. Weight: 5.6g.This buckle is of Hawkes and Dunning type IA and is part of a group of late 4th century military fittings commonly found in Britain (1961: 41 - 43).
