Unique ID: PUBLIC-85F5BE
Object type certainty: Probably
Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
A Roman copper alloy mount or fitting, possibly from the corner of a box and storage chest, and possibly related to the military. It has a clear 90 degree angle which creates a L-shape which due to a circular convexed decoration has a semicircular interuption on it inner 90 degree angle. It has three holes in both the two ends of the L-shape and one in the corner, all of which appear to be the same size, most probably made by the same tool. The circular covexed decoration in the middle had been damaged along with one side of the artefact, which is caused by a bend which was likely happened while in context. The outer edge has been bent on creaton, most likely to better fit a box or container
