Description: | A copper-alloy harness ring, 28mm in external diameter and 20mm in internal diameter and circular in cross-section. It has a circular flat topped stud, 8mm in diameter, fixed to one side by a concave-sided neck. An identical parallel ring has been found at the Roman small town of Wanborough and been dated to the mid first century A.D, it is suggested that this ring may be a harness ring, or a junction ring for straps reinforcing bags abd satchels, the stud providing the fastener to secure the top flap when closed (Anderson et al 2001, p95-96, Fig, 37, no, 120). | 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
