Description: | A cast copper-alloy fragment probably of a Roman apron pendant or strap end, dating from c. AD 100-300. The remains of the object consist of a bulbous pointed knop terminal which is circular in cross-section; the terminal is shaped roughly in a piriform or teardrop-shape with a narrowed circular-sectioned shaft broken at the top, which would have continued to a suspension loop. The object has a dark green colour and rough surface texture. The fragment measures 28.14 mm long, 13.67 mm diameter and weighs 21.63 grams. Cf. PAS database record: NLM-8B87B8. Similarly shaped objects are photographed in Chapman, E. 2005, Appendix W: Pendants.
