Description: | Fragment of copper alloy mount or strap fitting. This fragment represents one corner of a mount and is now subrectangular in plan. One long end and one edge are clearly damaged, but the other long edge appears to be moulded with a deliberately stepped in slight curve. The opposite short end is straight. All the edges are ultimately truncated. The front of the mount is plain. The reverse of the mount is also plain. In one corner is a thick, integral rivet that ends with a circular rove. This element suggests that the object is Roman in date. The object is abraded, with most of the original surface being pitted. It has a dark green patina with yellowy green mottling and some flashes of bright green corrosion product. It is 20.06mm long, 14.58mm wide, 1.7mm thick and weighs 2.17g. The rivet is 3mm long with the rove head having a diameter of 5.64mm.
