Description: | A late Iron Age ?? early Roman copper alloy toggle (100BC ?? 100AD). This is a looped toggle with flattened knob-like terminals. The body is decorated with moulded ribs along the length creating a ridge and groove appearance.
Toggles like this example probably fulfilled the same function as the button and loop fasteners which they preceded. They are likely to have been used both for horse harness and for human clothing.
Dimensions: Diameter of terminal: 10.29mm; length: 37.87mm; width: 14.29mm; weight: 13.96g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Sumnall, Kate - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
