Roman copper alloy chatelaine, 23mm long, 16mm wide, 5mm thick and weighs 3.19g. The object consists of the upper part of a chatalaine with a sub-rectangular plate below a short ribbed circular shaft terminating in a suspension loop. The plate is decorated with two ring and dot motifs, but is otherwise plain. The bottom of the plate holds two semi-circular lugs set perpedicular to the plate. These would have held a suspension bar for cosmetic tools (as in object LEIC-8572C4, a remarkably well preserved Roman chatelaine).
