Description: | Roman copper alloy strap end, 41mm long, 26mm wide and 4mm thick. The object is in fair condition with a reddish patina and weighs 11.91 grams. The object is sub rectangular in form and rectangular in section. It has two damaged plates emerging from one of its short edges which have a central copper alloy rivet, placed just near its edge. Below this the object is solid but has areas of openwork decoration. This consists of a central bar with sub rectangular protrusions in the centre of its length, flanked on each side by a sub-rectangular recess. Just below the central triangular protrusions are two more, emerging from the outer edge of the object and forming part of the border to two sub circular recesses. The outer edge of the object is rounded to accomodate these recesses and in between these is a small circular suspension hole, which protrudes slightly from the rounded egde.
