Description: | A copper alloy loop from a button and loop fastener dating from the Early Roman period. The fragment is 23.6mm long, 12.6mm wide and 11.3mm thick. Only the loop and a fragment of the button survive. The loop is oval and pointed at the lower end. The shaft bends forwards and is integrally cast with the button which it meets at the back just below the top. The fragment of the button surviving suggests that it would have been a pointed oval shape. It had a central ridge in front of the shaft. The fastener has a dark green patina. It is probably an example of Wild's Type III.
