Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy unidentified object which is perhaps most likely to be Iron Age or Roman in date due to its style, although exactly what its function was remains unclear. It has a central roughly rectangular part with three incomplete rectangular flat arms projecting from the wider end of it. The object measures 28.6mm in surviving length and 18mm in surviving width. The central arm, of which the most survives is decorated on the front face with a central longitudinal row of small circular dots and either side of this there are longitudinal rows of circular knops and then longitudinal grooves. The other two fragmentary arms are also decorated with longitudinal grooves with longitudinal rows of circular dots between them. The front face of the central rectangular part is rounded and the back face flat.
This fragmentary object could be some sort of strap junction or other strap fitting. | 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
