Description: | An incomplete, due to wear, worn copper-alloy Roman strap fitting or mount similar to an incomplete example from Barham, Suffolk SMR number 016. This mount is roughly oval in shape and measures 32.1mm in surviving length and 18.5mm in width. It has an oval shaped projecting boss in the centre of the front face which is 16.2mm in length, 11.3mm in width and c4mm in thickness, it has a central longitudinal groove. The central projecting oval shaped boss has a hollow back face and there is an integral rivet projecting from either end of this hollow. The rivets are cylindrical in shape measuring 4.9mm in length and c6.6mm in width. This mount is perhaps most likely to be connected with the Roman military and to be late Roman in date.
