Description: | Cast copper alloy button and loop fastener dating from the late Iron Age to the Roman period. The object is lentoid in form with a central dome decorating its upper surface. A deep groove runs around the dome. A shaft emerges from the base of the reverse and turns at a right angle to form a triangular loop. The object is in very good condition and has a mid-green patina. The toggle can be classified as Wild class III. A similar example which can be found on the database is LEIC-968A13. It can be dated to the 2nd century AD.
