Description: | A Roman Button and loop fastener of Wild's Class III. The majority of the 'button' component and the stem of the 'loop' component of the item remains. The 'button component has a circular dome in the centre, with the base bordered by a pointed droplet shape, in plan. The rounded portion of the droplet shape is abraded and may not be the originally shape. The base of the circular dome defined by a deep groove. One corner of the pointed oval border has been heavily abraded. The reverse of the button is flat with a sub-circular cell below the dome. The shank protrudes from the reverse of the button, towards the heavily abraded border edge. The shank is oval shape in cross section and is an inverted 'L' shape in plan. The horizontal portion of the shank is sub-triangular with a 'V' shaped indentation along the narrow edge. Either side of this indentation the edge is a broken edge, but not a recent break. The toggle has a light green patina. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
