Description: | 'Propeller-shaped' mount, now bent and with a little missing. The central circular lobe is 17 mm in diameter, and has a central dot surrounded by two engraved rings. The curved edges are decorated with edge nicks. There are two flaring terminal lobes, each pierced for a rivet; one is complete and undecorated, and has bevelled edges, but the other has lost most of its edges. The central lobe and the incomplete terminal lobe are a little bent. This type of mount was used to stiffen a large belt which was probably a marker of status in the Roman army. It measures 31 mm long in its bent condition and has a glossy pale grey-green patina. | Subjects: | mount propeller shaped | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Geake, Helen - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
