Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy strap slide dating from the late Iron Age to the Roman period. The object is formed from two prominent domes within a raised circular border forming the typical Iron Age style "eye" design. Each end of the object terminates with a point. The reverse of the strap slide is largely flat except for two small concave areas beneath the dome features. On each end of the reverse is a rectangular sectioned projection which would have joined forming a rectangular attachment loop. The object has a dark green patina and is in good condition. Similar examples which can be found on the database ares YORYM-A26051 and WMID-550E46. The fitting is very similar to harness mount 2544 in Crummy, (1988), p.106. This is from a context dated to the 2nd century - c.AD320.
