Description: | Copper alloy belt mount of late Roman date. In the centre of the object is a generally circular element. To either side the object expands with straight sides before terminating in generally straight edges. The object is generally flat and rectangular in section, although some of the edges are slightly bevelled. The upper surface has incised decoration. There are three dot and circle motifs arranged parallel to the straight edges at each end. There are a further nine dot and circle motifs arranged in a circle in the central element. Within this circle there are two concentric incised circular grooves, separated by a circular ridge, with a final large incised dot in the centre with a raised border. The reverse is flat and undecorated and there are two short cylindrical rivets projecting, one at each end of the object arranged slightly off centre. Even mid-green patina. | 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: | 200
