Description: | Copper alloy object, probably a harness fitting of Roman date. At one end of the object there is a flattened circular terminal (D. 12.7mm. Th. 6.4mm). On the upper surface of the terminal there is a thick raised border. Within the border there s a further raised concentric circle with a raised central dot. Between the raised elements there are recesses which may once have been inlaid. The sides and reverse of the terminal are slightly convex. A thick circular section shaft extends from the centre of the reverse of the terminal. The shaft extends for c. 15mm before it is broken off and tapers slightly from the junction with the terminal (6.3-5.2mm). There is some iron staining in the centre of the section of the break, suggesting that there may be an iron element within the shaft. Patchy mid-dark green patina. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Puls, Jodi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
