Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy possible early Roman terret or rein ring. This probable terret is of the covered loop form with an incomplete 'skirt' corroded iron beneath this, probably the remains of an iron loop, and a fragment of a copper-alloy integral loop projecting from the upper edge of the 'skirt.' The 'skirt' is rectangular in plan and measures 31mm in length, 20.9mm in width and 15mm in thickness. The underside is hollow, with corroded iron within it as mentions above. The outer face has rounded knops at the two surviving corners and rectangular steps around all faces. The incomplete integral copper-alloy loop projects from the upper face of the 'skirt' it measures 18.7mm in surviving length and 7.6mm in width, it is curving upwards gently and is likely to have been circular in shape originally. | Subjects: | terret | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
