LATE ROMAN BUCKLES IN BRITAIN 3. - CRESCENT |
Hawkes and Dunning identified the first of this group (1). Certainly the long thin plate looks right for the period, but stylistically, apart form this, the group is very unusual, with little in common with any of the other buckles we are looking at. Two more buckles (2, 3) in this category have since come to light, but unfortunately have done little to add to our understanding of how they relate to other buckle developments.
