Description: | A copper-alloy decorative strap or belt mount, Roman and circa 3rd century in date and most likely to be associated with the military. Similar decorative late Roman mounts of a similar style, although with a different openwork designs have been found in Germany (Oldenstein 1976, tafel 69, 902-907), another similar example is SF-6FA452 from Cambridgeshire.
This mount is circular in shape measuring 30.15mm in diameter. It is open work with two curvilinear internal arms, which have rounded terminal knobs and meet in the centre of the mount. There are also two opposing knops projecting from the edges of the front face. The front face is rounded and the back face flat. The back face has four evenly spaced integral cylindrical rivets projecting from it. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
