Description: | A very corroded copper alloy object, possibly a bar mount. A central narrow rectangular(?) plate 14 by 8mm has a central 3mm diameter hole. The terminals step down and taper from the narrow ends of the rectangle, probably ending in rounded knobs. Overall the shape seems similar to a small equal-ended Roman brooch such as Hattatt no.1598 but the large centre hole would be unusual; unfortunately the back of the terminals is far too corroded to see what, if any, attachment system there may have been here - but the terminals are less flat and thicker than the centre plate. Length 29mm, surviving width 9mm, centre plate c. 1.5mm thick. Date possibilities range from Roman to early post medieval. | 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
