A Roman copper alloy buckle, of Hawkes and Dunning (1961) type 1A, dating to AD 350-450. The buckle consists of a D-shaped frame with an elaborate exterior edge, expanded into an openwork depiction of two stylised confronted dolphins. The exterior edge is slightly obliquely angled. The frame is sub-oval in cross section. The patina is blue and this appears to be the action of corrosion. A patch of iron corrosion on the frame may indicate the location of a missing iron pin. Length 30.3mm; width 31.9mm; thickness 1.8mm; weight 5.21g. Compare more detailed examples published by Hawk…
