Description: | Copper alloyMount (as identified by finder). Cast sub-rectangular mount with a crudely moulded pointed terminal. A pair of backward pointing (relative to the terminal) rivets, each rising from a rectangular foot, are brazed to the back of the fitting, which is broken at its other end. If the curvature of the rivets relates to their fixing, they would suggest they engaged a strap or other object of 3.5mm thickness. Similar angled fixings occur on 3rd-century military metalwork, particularly scabbard fittings. Suggested date: late Roman, 200-400.Length: 41.1mm, Width/Height: 17.3mm, Thickness (clear of rivets) 3.3mm, Weight: 9.66gms. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
