Description: | A cast copper-alloy object, probably dating to the late Iron age or early Roman period. An open triangle of solid construction with sub-spherical knobs at the corners. One of the knobs is considerably larger than the others. There is evidence of damage in the form of a fracture in the frame between the two smaller knobs. Worn, with grey patina. Based on a similar artefact recorded on this database (ref. LEIC-B57246), this object possibly functioned as a strap junction or union. There is a further object, again recorded on this database (ref. SF-3AB401), found in Suffolk which shares the characteristics of this artefact even more closely than the first example. Unfortunately, this second example is undated without any function attributed. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
