Description: | Copper alloy mount. Central keyhole-like perforation, flat, curvilinear outline with onion shape on the broad end. A punched dot with double ring on the onion shaped part and notched edges at both ends are the only decoration. Attachment was by two integral rivets with large circular joined roves. 47mm long, 24mm wide, mount plate 1.5mm thick, plate to rove gap (i.e. strap thickness) 3.2mm. Two-rivet strap fittings are commonest in Roman military contexts (2nd-3rd C.) but no close parallel for this piece has been located.
