HARNESS FITTING
Unique ID: NMS-F597B6
Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow
status: Published 
Incomplete Romano-British copper alloy protected-loop terret. Just over half of the circular-sectioned ring, which springs from a collar with a deep groove on each long face, is missing. Almost all of the original edge of the skirt is missing, the one short section of surviving edge possibly suggesting a multifoil form, with a curved, round-sectioned attachment loop benieth.
The surviving part of the ring, which does not appear to be distorted, shows the loop was a shallow oval.
Surviving height 32mm. Surviving length and width of skirt 32mm and 24mm. Late 1st century.
