Description: | Possible a Late Iron Age to Early Roman copper-alloy button-and-loop fastener.
The fastener is rather unusual and does not appear to fit into the normal classification and a detailed search through the literature has not found a parallel.
The object consists of a circular loop (possibly the button element); this is now broken and only half survives. Coming off from this at a right angle there is a raised triangular plate, with a triangular hole cut into it. Below this again at a right-angle two strips extend down joining the top plate to a lower semi-circular plate. The loop and the semi-circular plate are on the same plan.
All of the different elements are undecorated and the surface is pitted so little detail survives. The metal is a dark greyish-green colour. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
