Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy cast possible strap fitting or mount most likely to be Roman in date but for which no published parallel could be found. The object has one complete terminal end which is triangular in shape, measuring 33.70mm in width and 14.77mm in length, with an in situ copper-alloy rivet through either outer corner, the front face has faceted edges and the back face is flat. Projecting upwards at a circa 45 degree angle from the tip of the central point of the triangle, is a rectangular short shaft which then bends at right angles to be on the same plane as the triangular terminal end. This shaft has decorative notches cut into it at the end where it joins the triangular terminal and the front face is faceted and back face flat. The other end of the shaft is missing due to an old break. The shaft is c21.87mm in surviving length and 5.04mm in width. The terminal and incomplete shaft measure 34.29mm in length.
