An incomplete copper-alloy buckle frame dating to the mid-first century AD. The frame comprises an openwork plate, which would originally have been in the shape of a pelta motif in plan. The edges of the plate are chamfered. The upper surface of the plate is tinned; the lower surface is plain. An oval suspension loop with circular perforation extends from the plate. The frame measures 36mm in length and 35mm in width. It weighs 6 grams. For similar buckle frames see Oldenstein 1976, Taf. 74.

A complete late Roman - Early Medieval (4th - early 5th Century) copper alloy buckle and plate of Hawkes and Dunning Type 1B. The buckle has a pair of facing dolphins at the centre of the outer edge. Each has open jaws defined by two incised transverse lines and a ring-and-dot for the eye. A recess in the area between the jaws serves as the pin rest. Each dolphin has a horse extending from its crest and which look in the opposite direction to the dolphin. The horses are flat and set below the dolphins that are moulded. Each horse has a short line for the mouth, a short transverse line…

County: Suffolk

A copper-alloy fragment of a probable Roman buckle frame. The frame is of Hawkes and Dunning type IIA (1961, fig 17 j), which is made up of a seperate loop, tongue and plate held together with a bolt. The loop of this type is formed of a pair of confronting dolphins.
In this example less than half of the loop survives, the dolphin tail end is complete but the end where the dolphin head would be expected is missing due to an old break. The fragment mesaures 33mm in length and 12mm in width. The tail appears to be resting on a horizontal bar, which is similar to an example from Lu…

Part of a copper alloy Roman 'military' buckle. The buckle would have been made up of a separate frame, pin and belt plate held together by a hinge pin but only part of the frame survives. The frame curves round to an involuted terminal and has oblique notches cut along the outer edge. Below the terminal is a hinge ring 5mm across.

An incomplete buckle of late Roman date. Military style buckle probably dating from the late 4th to early 5th century AD. The object has been cast in one piece and has an integral plate and loop. The plate is rectangular and is of an openwork design. It is incomplete but originally had four vertical rectangular cells separated by moulded columns. The horizontal bottom edge of the plate is now largely missing but appears to have had decorative concave incisions. Above the rectangular cells are four horizontally aligned openwork circles and, above these, a narrow horizontal band with a l…

A cast copper-alloy Roman buckle-pin, perhaps a variation of the cruciform type. The pin would have terminated in a loop, the beginnings of which are still discernible although the majority is now missing following an old break. The tongue of the pin is arched. Side prongs curve round towards the loop end to form a pair of 'C's perpendicular to the tongue. The main body of the pin is decorated with a linear arrangement of ring-and-dot on the obverse; this decorative line parts before the tongue and continues along the obverse of the two side prongs. Dark brown patina. Buckle-pins…

Roman cast copper alloy military buckle, probably dating from the mid 2nd to 3rd century AD. The buckle is incomplete with a surviving length of 43.1mm and is missing the bar and end of the plate. The buckle plate has a maximum width of 21.0mm, a maximum thickness of 4.8mm and weighs 12.2g. The missing bar was likely to have been made of iron (as evidenced by iron corrosion staining) and was secured by two loops of 2mm internal diameter. The attachment loops are each of dimensions 5.5 x 4.5 x 4.5mm. The upper face of the plate is convex and is decorated with incised or cut lines and ce…

Incomplete late Roman military belt-buckle. The fragment is made of copper alloy and consists of the the attachment end of a triangular buckle plate. It has two broken arms, one to either side of a central triangular perforation, and a broken pierced circular terminal at the apex of the triangle. The plate is undecorated and there is some bronze/?iron corrosion on the reverse of the broken circular terminal, presumably the remains of a rivet.
The frame and the part of the plate next to it is missing, but from other more complete examples can be plausibly reconstructed as either a…

Incomplete cast copper-alloy late Roman buckle, with integral triangular plate. The frame is kidney- or heart-shaped in plan, in that it is D-shaped but with a concave front edge. It is domed in cross-section. The frame is joined to the plate by a bar, which is flat in cross-section and which extends slightly to either side of the frame and plate.

A cast copper alloy D-shaped buckle with integral plate of uncertain date. The buckle is undecorated and is of a uniform thickness throughout the frame and plate. The plate is slightly trapezoidal and contains three rivet holes. The central hole contains the remains of an iron rivet. One end of the pin is bent into a loop to affix it to the plate, where there is a rectangular perforation to accommodate it. This buckle is unusual because the integral plate is wider than it is long, unlike the majority of examples with integral plates.
