Description: | A copper-alloy strap fitting of Roman date. A similar fitting was found in excavations at Wanborough, Wiltshire, in a deposit dating from AD c. 325-400+ (see Anderson et al., 2001, p. 104, no. 161). The plate (which is now bent) takes the form of a quatrefoil, the equal-side petals being defined by grooves which extend towards the slightly domed centre. On the reverse is an integrally-cast rectangular loop which is only slightly shorter than the plate. The artefact measures 26.1mm long 22.1mm wide (due to being bent) and 10.8mm thick. The weight is 4.62g.
