Description: | Late Roman copper alloy decorative mount, 68mm long and 13mm wide. The object is in fair condition with a green/black patina. It consists of a rectangular plate, 2.5 mm thick which has a trilobed terminal at each end. These terminals have three circular depressions which echo its form (ie one above two) These depressions appear to be drilled as one overlaps the edge of the object suggesting they were drilled after it was cast. The main surface of the mount is decorated with a rectangular incised border which contains six incised cup and ring marks arranged roughly in a straight line. The object is probably a belt stiffener, though no parallels have been found. | 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: | 300
