Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy strap-mounted and skirted terret of early Roman date.Viewed from above, the skirt is sub-lozengiform in plan, the outer edge indented to create the impression of four petals. The sides of the skirt angle downwards either side of the centre, where there is the remnant of a frame. A rectangular loop attachment is located on the hollow underside of the skirt and is aligned longitudinally.Dimensions: 41.2mm long, 26.5mm wide, 24mm high. Weight not recorded.The PAS database contains several examples of skirted terrets, which probably date from the mid 1st to 2nd century (see, for example, SUR-098252 from Guildford, Surrey).
