Description: | Copper alloy Roman lock-bolt. It is 71mm in length and 17mm wide. One arm extends 26mm, is 8mm wide and 3mm thick. The arm that extends in the opposite decoration is 10.5mm long, 4mm wide and 9.5mm thick. Between the two arms is an openwork area. On one side the surface is flat; on the other the extensions of both arms surround the two long edges. The openwork pattern is created by c.3.5mm thick strips 1mm wide creating two sets of two triangular openings opposite each other, hypoteneuse to hypoteneuse, in effect creating a disjointed square. At the end where the shorter arm extends, there is an additional semi-circular openwork cutting. Weighs 21.24g. Cf Crummy 1983 fig.136 no.4136. Probably late Roman. | 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: | 201
