Description: | A cast copper alloy Roman button-loop fastener fragment. The loop remains of the object. The loop, in plan is triangular with an integral protrusion from the tip. This protrusion is broken, but it is not a too recent break. The frame is sub-rectangular in section with rounded edges. The surface of the fastener has a mottled mid green patina. It measures 22.05mm long, 14.81mm wide, 3.49mm thick and weighs 2.6g.
Toggles/button-loop fasteners such as this date to the late Iron Age and were used on harnesses as well as personal clothing (Geake (2001 Finds Recording Guide unpublished p. 70) | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bolton, Angie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
