Description: | A junction loop for the attachment of a strap, probably to a ring, from the harness of a cavalry horse. The loop belongs to Bishop's Type 1 (1988, fig. 50, especially 1k) and originally consisted of two roundels linked by a narrower waisted strip, with a rivet in each roundel, through the strap and into the narrow strip folded over at the back. It is now broken at the front below the first roundel, and at the back across the first rivet-hole.
The upper surface is decorated with incised dots and small crossed circles on the loop , and with plain and milled grooves on the roundel; the metal is probably brass. A date from the conquest up to the Hadrianic period is likely (Bishop 1988, 10). | Subjects: | Military | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Williams, David W - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
