Description: | A Roman copper alloy fastener. The fastener consists of a cast rectangular plate, which is semi-lentoidal in section. The upper surface of the plate is separated into two equal cells by a horizontal rib. Each cell has five leaf shaped mouldings, perhaps intended to represent snakes. The area surrounding the mouldings is filled with red enamel, now degraded. The underside of the plate is plain. A rectangular attachment loop with rectangular perforation extends at right angles from the underside. The fastener measures 29mm in length and 17mm in width. The thickness of the fastener including the attachment loop is 17mm.
