Item Details
Description
2nd-3rd century A.D. Composing two opposed dragonesque figures with tail and lowered head, sitting on a peltate style cut out. Cf. for similar mounts (style) Appels, A., & Laycock, S., Roman Buckles and Military Fittings, Witham, 2007, pp.76-79. 19.7 grams, 35 mm (1 3/8 in.).

Acquired on the UK art market. Property of a Ruislip, UK, gentleman, by inheritance. Belt appliques and decorations change notably during the centuries of the Roman Empire. In around 2nd-3rd centuries A.D., particularly in Pannonia and in Britain, show many very Celtic orientated fittings, maybe as the result of provincial influences within the army or production systems.
