Description: | Roman? copper alloy fragment of a thin strip of metal. The obejct is broken and bent, both edges are irregularly truncated. In the centre of the surface there are at least 6 small very regular circles having a clear-cut and tiny concentric hole (ring and dot decorations). In addition, there are two biggest holes, one of these being next to one of the edges, and only a small part of it is visible. Probably the two holes were originally ring and dot decorations too, but they are now missing their inner decoration. The 2 holes and 6 circles are not equally distributed along the surface. Given the fact that traces of engraving are only visible on the inner surface, it is possible that the object is folded upside down. The object may be part of a buckleplate and could be later than Roman. Length: 28mm, width: 15mm, thickness: 7.50mm, weight: 2.24gr.
