Description: | Incomplete Romano-British/Early Saxon amphora strap-end, attachment missing, broken across neck. At the outside edge there is a lobe with transverse mouldings, and the body is decorated with six asymmetrically arranged round openwork apertures of varying sizes and on the front face with punched annulets in the spaces between them. The break is across two further, probably round apertures and possibly across a third near the better preserved edge just beyond the neck. The reverse is left undecorated, and a roughly C-shaped impression near the centre is probably a casting flaw or damage. Short engraved grooves on both sides and on both faces near the lobe may be deliberately decorative. Length >39mm. Width >23mm. Late 4th - possibly early 5th century. | 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: | 350
