Buckle with Animal Heads, Bronze

This buckle with animal heads is a reconstruction of an original, completed with a metal plate to fit it on a leather belt. This type buckles were part of late roman military belts, which were often worn by germans in roman service. Also in the early merovingian period, the buckles were still in use, now popular for women dresses as well.
