Description: | 'Amphora-shaped' strap-end, now incomplete. The main body of the strap-end is a flat oval plate, rounded at one end and pointed at the other. The pointed end has a little knob terminal; at the rounded end the strap-end begins to widen and is perforated, but then broken (unworn breaks). These perforations were probably decorative, and crescent-shaped; there would have been smaller attachment holes above. One face of the strap-end is decorated with neatly bevelled edges and a rather untidy longitudinal line of five ring-and-dot motifs, with another ring-and-dot to either side forming a kind of cross. Late Roman.
