Description: | Copper alloy possible strap end or 'apron mount'. Solid cast object of a form resembling a truncheon; the surface is now black though yellow metal shows beneath this. An expanded end bears three deeply incised and possibly turned grooves and a series of indentations on its rounded end. The narrower end bears a single incised line resembling a collar; the object is possibly broken here and the suggested identification envisages the loss of a suspension loop from this end. A limited longitudinal zone of heavy wear has flattened both the expanded end and the opposite end. Suggested date: Roman, 100-300.Length: 43.3mm, Diameter: 12.5mm, Weight: 24.20gms.
