Description: | Roman cast copper alloy suspension loop or escutcheon from a vessel. The body of the item is egg shaped with a rounded top edge and sides that taper to the narrower rounded lower point. It is convex on the front and concave on the rear. There are possibly the remains of two rivets through the body, placed centrally, one near the top and one near the lower point. A mass of corrosion and mud now obscures these possible rivets. From the centre of the top projects an integral lug with transverse piercing. There are two collars between the loop and main body and at the top a transverse circular loop. The loop is level with the back of the main body at the back and projects forward. It is 30.9mm long, 13.9mm wide and 8.7mm thick, 5.9mm excluding the loop; it weighs 3.79 grams.SF-4E5A43 on this database is similar although lacking the collars. LON-672808 is also similar but flatter.
