Description: | A cast copper-alloy button-and-loop fastener of probable Roman date, 1st-3rd centuries.The fastener has a lozenge-shaped head with concave edges. The L-shaped body is cast integral on the underside of the centre of the head, and flares into a flattened, openwork triangular 'loop'.The metalwork has suffered from corrosion, and it is possible that the fitting belongs to the Post-Medieval period, though no parallel was found.
