Description: | Cast copper-alloy button and loop fastener of Wild's Class II ring-headed type (Wild; 1970; 138-9). The fastener is circular with moulded decoration at two points, opposite each other. There is a circle shaped decoration on the side near the loop. This consists of a ring of red enamel with a central dot of white enamel. The different colours are separated by raised ridges of copper alloy. The opposite decoration consists of a raised blob with linear ridges. The loop is tear-drop shaped and is set on a stem with a 90 degree angle from the fastener.
Wild dates this type to the mid-first century through to the second century AD. | Subjects: | Class II | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McIntosh, Frances | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
