Description: | Damaged cast copper alloy harness fitting dating from the Roman period, that is the 1st-4th century AD. The harness fitting is a terret ring which is composed of an oval ring with circular cross-section and an off-set rectangular loop at the bottom. While the rectangular loop is complete, the larger oval is damaged and part of it is missing. It is likely that it has been worn thin through abrasion by reins or other leather straps until it snapped. Both ends of the break are worn thin and pointy.
