Description: | One plate from a strap-end, made from very thin copper alloy. It is of the 'lancet-shaped' late Roman type, with a rounded body and flared attachment end, but is very much more flimsy than most. The attachment end is decoratively cut into a curly bracket shape, and has a single central rivet hole. The body of the strap-end has four rather unevenly placed central ring-and-dot motifs, and tapered to a broken point which probably originally extended into a short terminal. On the reverse are extensive traces of solder, running up to a straight line close to the junction between the attachment end and the rest of the strap-end. Late Roman.
