Description: | An incomplete late Roman amphora-shaped strap end, made from a single pointed-oval copper-alloy plate with a missing attachment end (worn break). The strap-end tapers towards the broken end and then begins to flare out again towards the break; at the angle, there are two small triangular projections. The other end of the strap end tapers to a rounded knop terminal.The strap-end is decorated on both faces. The front has a series of ring and dot motifs forming a border which runs right the way around the edge of the strap end, forming a pointed-oval shape; a line of them also runs down the middle of the fitting. The reverse also depicts these motifs, but on this surface the arrangement is some what more random. The metal is a mid jade-green colour. Some of the original surface survives, but the surface is pitted.Length: 48.47 mm. Width: 20.49 mm. Thickness: 2.46 mm. Weight: 9.16 g. Compare NARC-CAA3A3, NMS-82AE05, etc.
