Description: | An incomplete copper alloy covered loop terret, measuring 29mm in heigth and 45mm in width. The oval loop through which the rein would have passed is missing due to an old break, now worn and the short rectangular shaped neck is also worn. Beneath this is the 'skirt' which is incomplete again due to old breaks. The 'skirt' is a pointed oval with the centre of the long sides curved downwards and incomplete due to old breaks. One of the side pointed ends of the oval survives and curves upwards and has a small circular knob terminal, the other pointed end is missing due to an old break. Beneath the 'skirt' there is a complete copper-alloy loop, running between the base of the pointed ends of the 'skirt', rectangular in shape, measuring 28mm in length and 7mm in width. It is unclear if this loop is integral or if it has been attached to the 'skirt' using a solder.
This terret is Roman in date and similar terrets have been discovered elsewhere in Suffolk from Cockfield and Cavenham. | 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
