Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy object of probable Roman date. The object measures 27.8mm by 15.8mm by 1.9mm and weighs 1.7g. It is flat and teardrop-shaped, with an external loop at the wider end and a rounded knop at the pointed end. A small section is missing from one edge and there is a hole on the other side of the plate. The front appears to have been chip-carved to create a geometric design of concentric borders around a longitudinal linear. The back is undecorated. This object is a broadly similar shape to some harness pendants of Roman date, but its decoration is unusual and the loop is not set at the usual ninety degrees to the plate. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Payne, Naomi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
