Description: | A copper alloy strap-slide of the Roman period. The strap-slide can be described as 'eye-shaped', with a circle placed in the centre of a pointed oval. The circle is delimited by a groove, and consists of two concentre circular cells for enamel. The loop on the reverse is missing, leaving just two very worn stubs. It was integrally cast with the object and runs centrally on the long axis. It has a length of 37.93mm, width 26.70mm, thickness 16.38mm, weight 6.19g. Similar examples include NLM-6ADA20 and NCL-4D12F0, and there are also similarities to Type III Button and Loop Fasteners.
