Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy Roman amphora shaped strap end. The amphora shaped plate is slightly convex and has a leaf shaped body, which terminates with a slightly pointed knop. On the upper part of the body are four equally sized circular holes in a quatrefoil formation, which are made to look like ??handles??. Above the holes is a truncated hinge mechanism, though only fragments of the two integral lugs are remaining. The strap end is decorated with punched dots that go around and in between the four holes and around the edge and centre of the body. The back of the plate is plain. The surviving length is 51.0mm, the maximum width is 18.8mm, the thickness is 2.7mm and the weight is 9.00g. | Subjects: | Amphora | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Staves, Lisa - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
