Description: | Roman cast copper alloy strap mount. Triangular; the pointed end terminates in a collared bulbous knop with a longitudinal line running down it (possibly phallic?); behind the collar is a raised triangular section; the other end terminates in a bi-lobed projection set at right-angles to the plane of the rest of the object - this may be a damaged hook. Two disc headed shanks project from the reverse. Length 39.71mm, width 20.74mm, thickness 3.26mm (10.51mm with stud), weight 10.44g.
Allason-Jones & Miket (1984, 'The Catalogue of small finds from South Shields Roman Fort', Gloucester) publishes a similar triangular mount with hook and two projecting shanks (pp204-5 no.3.674). | 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
