It occurred to me that there are some chip carved belt buckles in the Museum of London, so went to check them out in my lunch break. It seemed to my (very) untutored eye that there were traces of tinning in the chip carved recesses of the Late Roman buckle found at Mansell Street, London. I've asked them for a picture and will get back to you all!

Cheers
