Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy late Roman 'amphora-shaped' strap-end with its attachment end missing due to old breaks, now worn. Measuring 48mm in surviving length and 28mm in width. The body of the strap end is flat, 2mm in thickness and below the missing attachment end is a fragment of the openwork handle of the amphora, the strap end then flares into broad sloping shoulders before tapering to a point which has a rounded knop at its tip. This strap end is worn and patches of active powdery green corrosion can be seen.
Similar strap ends have been found in Suffolk at Eye, see SF-8972, and Sutton, see SF-BFAB47, they are late Roman in date and usually found in military contexts on excavated sites. | Subjects: | Amphora type | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
