Description: | Copper alloy strap fitting 51mm in length and max 17.5mm wide.At one end is a loop turned through 90 degrees. It is circular and 8mm in diameter with a central piercing 3mm in diameter. Beyond this is a section hollow to the reverse (but with the edges thicker). At either short end (one of which ajoins the loop) the edge is straight. Both long sides have two crescent shapes on top of each other, cut out of each edge. There is a tiny incised horizontal line between the two that stand on top of each other. The C-shapes are cut at an angle so give a sloping edge.At the end opposite to the loop is a trefoil projection. It is not hollow to the reverse and is even slightly lower. On the decorated face, it is also slightly stepped lower. The edge extends oputwards then inwards again before curving into the trefoil. Each knop is decorated with a ring-and-dot. The central knop is emphasised on either side by a diagonal groove.Probably Roman in date, and possibly a pendant of some kind? Although the hoop is circular in shape and does not have a flatter side.
