Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy strap slide dating from the late Iron Age to Roman period (c 150BC-AD100). The object is formed from two prominent domes within a raised oval-shaped border similar to a 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 bulges that would have formed two projections to form 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: YORYM-A26051, LVPL-8AC5D0.The fitting is very similar to harness mount 2544 in "Colchester Archaeological Report 2: The Roman small finds from excavations in Colchester 1971-9", Crummy, 1983, p.106, and figure 109.
