Description: | Piece of copper-alloy sheet with iron rivet, perhaps part of a strap fitting. The sheet fragment is 22 mm long and rectilinear, with one end perhaps original and one broken; it is 13 mm wide at the ?original end and 12 mm wide at the broken end. The ?original end has decoration on one face of two concentric grooves with the remains of an iron rivet at the centre; the broken end has the remains of a similar motif around an empty rivet hole. This face has a nice shiny dark green patina. The reverse is undecorated and unpolished. The fragment looks ancient, perhaps Roman to medieval, but cannot be dated more closely. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 43
