Description: | A fragment of a Romano-Britsh protected loop terret. The loop through which the reins would have passed is missing and only the base of the object remains. This consists of a sub-circular sectioned D-shaped attachment loop that is situated beneath a triangular ??skirt??that comes down over the loop to the front and back. At each side the skirt ??flicks-up?? rather like a jesters hat. There are a number of these types of terrets known from Norfolk including the examples from Beighton and Tatterset (31569 and HER 33975).
Protected loop terrets are usually considered to be Roman and dating to the late first and second centuries AD. | Subjects: | Protected loop Terret | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bales, Ellen - Norfolk Museums and Archaeology Service | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
