Description: | An incomplete, unidentified copper alloy object of uncertain date. It is U-shaped and circular in cross-section in the main, flattening at the terminals which both retain the remains of a (missing) iron bar at their centre. The object measures 27.32mm in length, 26.02mm in max. width, 6.47mm in max. depth and weighs 3.04g. It measures c.3mm in cross-section and the flattened terminals are 6.47mm wide and c.1.5mm thick.Some buckles of Roman (and later) date have similar construction to this object (see NMS-DF3CA4, NMS-50B131 and DENO-092A16 on this database), but it may also have functioned in a variety of other ways, perhaps as a strap fitting or furniture fitting.
