Description: | A copper alloy object, probably Roman. It has a patchy pale green patina. The object has a pelta-shaped front piece, the reverse is concave. There is a fragment of a plate that projects from the curved edge of the pelta. The plate is decorated with a single transverse incised line. The tip of the pelta curves upwards and ends in a flattened round terminal. On the reverse there is a curved bar of copper alloy that forms a loop with the pelta. The bar starts at the junction between the pelta and the plate and terminates just before the flattened round terminal. Projecting from the copper alloy curved bar there is some iron corrosion that appears to be a short iron bar. Part of one of the side curved edges of the pelta is broken off and missing. Dimensions: length: 41.66mm; width: 27.28mm; thickness: 18.04mm; weight: 25.85g.
