Description: | An incomplete Roman copper alloy harness fitting or skirted terret ring. It is missing all of it's hoop and most of the skirt. At the top of the object is a rounded projection which would have formed the base of the integral hoop. Below this is a transverse collar where it joins the skirt. This would originally have acted as a rein guide. Beneath the collar is the flaring skirt. It is lozenge shaped in plan and folded along its centre at an angle of 45 degrees to give an inverted V-shaped profile. Only a small amount of the skirt remains.
