Description: | A copper-alloy probable Roman strap end. This strap end is rectangular in shape, measuring 24mm in length and 20mm in width. It appears to have been cast in one with a thicker, decorated terminal end. This has transverse grooves and mouldings across its outer edge. Projecting from the terminal end there would have originally have been two flat rectangular and parallel sheets, inbetween which the strap would have fitted. One of these is now missing due to an old break. The surviving attachment end has two parallel rivet holes with traces of iron visible on the inside face, perhaps from iron rivets. Although no parallel could be found for this strap end it is most likely to be Roman in date due to its style and the good quality of the copper-alloy.
