Description: | A cast copper alloy Romano-British strap slider. The head of the slider is in the form of integral two drop-shapes joined at the rounded end. In the centre of each drop-shape is a central raised boss. It is possible that the hollow channel running around the boss was originally filled with enamel. The back of the head has an integrally cast rectangular loop (length 20.55mm, width 6.98mm).
An exact date parallel has not been found. However, the drop-shaped head can be paralleled to button and loop fasteners Class III, which have been dated from end of first century to second century (Wild, 1970, 140).
The overall length of the strap-slider is 28.20mm, the width is 10.52mm, the thickness of the head is 4.96mm and the weight is 6.20g. | 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: | 50
