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).
This mount is sub-circular in shape measuring 30mm in length and 23mm in width. It is open work. The frame is made from 2 coinjoined, tapering arms which form the sub-circular shape. At the narrow ends each arm has a circular knob. In the centre there is a s-shaped element which joins the wider terminals of the arms. This is broadest in the middle. It has 2 circular perforations in. The front face is rounded and the back face flat. The back face has 2 integral cylindrical rivets projecting from it. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McIntosh, Frances | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
