Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy Roman covered loop terret, the ring of which is missing due to an old break, now worn. It measures 35mm in width, 24.5mm in height and 27mm in thickness. The short rectangular neck survives and is decorated with transverse moulding. Beneath this is the 'skirt' which is quatrefoil in plan with two short lateral projections which curve upwards at their tips and larger front and back elements which are curving downwards. This 'skirt' is very worn along its edges and there could originally have been terminal knops present, but any trace of these is now gone. Underneath the 'skirt' is an integral roughly U-shaped loop. This covered loop terret is similar to other examples from Suffolk, from Baylam (see SF-997A91) and Cockfield (see SF-8715).
