Description: | Fragment of cast copper alloy strap fastener dating to the Late Iron Age (1st century AD). It is a fragment of a Wild III button-and-loop-fastener and very similar to LANCUM-E66594. Since both objects were found in the same field, no far away from one another, it is feasible to think they they belonged to the same garment. The description of the complete object is as follows: Button-and-loop fastener within an 'eye' shape oval lozenge attached to a solid shank. This shank tapers outwards to the opposing boss terminus. The reverse of the topmost boss demonstrates the original position of the attachment loop although this is broken. The piece is suffering greatly from bronze disease. | 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
