Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy 'vulvate' strap fitting of Roman date. It is missing part of the outside edge due to old breaks, now worn.It is oval in form with a raised hollow boss with a longitudinal groove down the centre, perhaps to imitate a vulva, 6.78mm in height. On the back face is an integral rectangular bar.This strap fitting measures 20.04mm in length, 13.00mm in width, 2.81mm in thickness, 13.01mm in height, 4.60g in weight.There are similar examples recorded on the PAS database (SF3424, (LIN-BBD542), (HAMP-FA01C3), (LVPL-1CB458), (HAMP-CF2DC7), (SWYOR-1779E1). However, no direct parallels could be found as these have integral rivets to attach the object to the strap, whereas this strap fitting has an integral bar.
