An incomplete Iron Age to Roman copper-alloy toggle dating to circa 50 BC-AD 100. Cast in one piece, it is comprised of opposed globular terminals set either side of a central rectangular-sectioned shank which terminates in a now incomplete suspension loop.  It is consistent with other examples referred to as dumbell toggles recorded on the database under KENT-47FE83 and SWYOR-F6D5C0 with similar examples depicted in Read 2005: 5-6.  Length: 17.6mm; Width: 18.8mm; Thickness: 5.2mm; Weight: 5.55g.

A copper-alloy Iron Age to Roman toggle, dating to the period c. 200 BC- AD 100. It consists of a sub-rectangular loop-frame, which has concave sides and four semi-oval cross-sectioned knops at each outer corners. Where the frame meets the knops there is a circumferential groove; even though the frame tends to expand at the corners, it results thinner than the knop itself. Cf similar finds on this database; instead of four the example have three knops: KENT-A4F836, BH-DCF430. Length: 34.96 mm Width: 31.61 mm Thickness of the frame: 5.76 mm Diameter of the knop…

A complete copper alloy late Iron Age to Roman looped toggle. The main body of the toggle is formed of two moulded ovoids joined at the centre, creating a broadly cylindrical shape. Where the two ovoids join they create a double bulb on the underside and a recessed v-shape on both sides. In the centre of each v-shape is a raised ring for decoration. The terminals at either side of the main body of the object are disc-shaped. The outer face of each disc is concave with a pellet in the centre, each pellet decorated with a recessed concave-sided triangle. The attachment loop is sub-recta…

A complete copper-alloy late Iron Age to Roman 'dumbell' toggle. It is of the dumbell type comprising two globular hemispherical terminals, each with a raised collar around their inner end, joined by a waisted central circular shaft. The surface of the metal is heavily corroded. These objects were presumably used as strap fittings and date from the 1st to 3rd century AD.
