Description: | A copper alloy strip of binding, of probable Roman date. It may be part of a furniture or box fitting. It is a narrow, rectangular stip, folded almost flat lengthways, its edges almost meeting together. At one terminal the strip has been twisted at forty-five degrees, from about 15mm from its tip, which is pointed. The binding measures 69.54mm in length, 7.13mm in width, 4.5mm in thickness and weighs 6.26g. Several examples of similar dimensions are illustrated in Crummy 1983 (fig.133) where they are listed as fastenings and fittings, as it is not possible to assign them to specific object types.
