Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy propeller-shaped mount of late Roman date which probably functioned as a transverse stiffener on a wide belt. The central circular lobe (15.15mm in diameter) and one of the two flaring triangular terminals (14.7mm by 19.75 by 7.56mm) survive. The surviving terminal is pierced by a circular hole (2.8mm in diameter) towards its end, which still contains a copper alloy rivet. The mount is 1.54mm wide, it weighs 3.75g and when complete it would have been about 44mm in length. The circular lobe is decorated with two parallel engraved circles and a central dot. Around the edge of the terminal lobe there are small engraved V-shaped nicks. The surface has a slightly speckly greyish green patina. | Subjects: | Propeller-Shaped Belt | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Payne, Naomi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
