Description: | An incomplete Roman copper alloy amphora strap end. The object is flat and elliptical in shape. There are six rounded nodules evenly spaced around the edge (three each side) with two longer curvilinear nodules at one of the tapered end, which would have formed the handle section of the amphora. There is a break at both ends, suggesting the object continued in both directions. It is decorated on one side with a large stamped ring and dot motif in the centre. Dots run around the motif and along the edges of the object. There are several more ring and dot motifs spread across the surface, though not as deep as the central motif.Although no exact parallels have been found, it is similar in style and decoration to Roman amphora strap ends.Dimensions: length: 31.09 mm; width: 24.04 mm; thickness: 2.43 mm; weight: 9.31g.
