Description: | Cast copper alloy strap end possibly part of a late Roman 'amphora' shaped strap end. The strap end is broken at both ends: the terminal is broken off completely and it has broken across the two rivet holes (amphorae handles). The remaining piece is 29.3mm long, 14.3mm wide, 1.4mm thick and weighs 2.3 grams. The strap end curves out to a widest point just below the rivet holes then back in to a thinnest point, 7.8mm wide, just above the broken end, before starting to expand again. The rivet end has the remains of two rivet holes, the longest remaining side of the hole is 5.4 mm. The strap end is decorated with two horizontal lines 5 mm from the rivet holes; above and below the lines, on the centre line of the strap end are single ring and dot decorations. There appears to be more decoration which is too worn to be distinguished
