Roman decorative belt buckle and strap end. 2nd century BCE 3rd century CE AD.
Yet again another two-part pendant that has a lot of movement. The exquisite part about this end piece is when I was cleaning it and ended up noticing at the incredibly bottom the face popped out as though it's always been there maybe by accident or maybe when it was designed the fabricator and forge master may have added that in the design. Who knows. Either way it's still a very beautiful piece. These buckles rectangular in nature were pretty common on Roman soldiers uniforms all throughout the empire during many different emperors and many different times so it's hard to kind of pinpoint it down to just one. But nevertheless it's absolutely gorgeous and I hope you enjoy it as much as I have making it finding it and then being able to present it to you so hopefully you can add to it story.
