Description: | Cast copper alloy Roman strap fitting.
It is in the form of a six-petalled flower with a rectangular loop on the reverse for attachment. The petals are separated by grooves and there is a central circular perforation. The stud is domed, being rounded on the top and flat on the reverse.
A similar item was found at Traprain Law and was described as a looped stud (Macgregor. 1976. 136-7). This type of item has affintities with button and loop fasteners which have been dated from the late Iron Age through to the Roman period. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McIntosh, Frances | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
