Description: | A copper alloy strap fitting (strap slide) dating from the Roman period. The fitting is damaged but is most likely to have been circular. The front face is decorated with a flower motif with a central dot of yellow enamel and four "petals" in the form of dots of blue enamel. Between each blue dot is a line radiating out towards the edge of the object. This line divides the space in between the blue dots in to two. These two spaces are now empty but may well have been filled with coloured enamel. On the reverse of the object is what appears to be an integral rectangular loop. Similar fittings include NCL-7F13A4, SWYOR-D86CC5 and SWYOR-F97952 on the database.Diameter: 21.5mm; thickness (exc. loop): 3.5mm; thickness (inc. loop): 10mm; weight: 9.8g
