Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy covered loop Roman terret, measuring 26.74mm in surviving height. The oval loop, through which the rein would have passed, is incomplete and roughly half survives, the upper half is missing due to old breaks, now worn. It has a roughly oval shaped cross-section and flares in thickness towards its base, it measures 30.60mm in external width and 19.82mm in internal width.
There is a transverse moulding where the base of the loop meets the top of the flaring 'skirt.' It is trapezoidal in plan and 15.71mm in thickness. The underside is hollow and covers the now all but missing very corroded iron loop. The 'skirt' measures 24.68mm in width and 10.35mm in height. There are horizontal grooves along the lower edge of the skirt, which is incomplete due to wear.
This covered loop terret is similar to another example from Offton, Suffolk, see SF-CE0736. | 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
