Description: | Iron Age or Early Roman bar headed strap fastener. Made from copper alloy, it is shaped like a toggle, it has a bar with a large circular in section body which extends outwards to form a loop. At the top and bottom of the bar it tapers outwards to a flat circular-section, which both have designs on their faces. One has a raised whell-spoke like design, whilst the other has a raised eye-like central design with concave lines forming a diamond shape around the eye. On the top of the main body there is a rough circle which may have held another design, but may just be corroded. Similar artefact dated to early 2nd century AD.
