Broad period: ROMAN
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Roman copper alloy military harness mount, heart-shaped with a median arris and rounded convex-fronted lobe at the base. An integral attachment shank rises from the centre of the concave reverse. It is round in cross-section and T-shaped. Nicolay 2007, Type B19, and very similar to pl.80, no. 100.37.

The length of the shank suggests that the thickness of leather through which it passed was c.5mm. c.125 - c.300.

Object type: LOCK
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Roman copper alloy lock pin consisting of a round head and integral shank. The upper surface of the head is concave with a central round protrusion on which there is a small depressed dot. In profile the head bears much resemblance to many "bell-shaped stud" furniture mounts, e.g. DOR-F9A898 and PUBLIC-939B68, though it is much smaller. The thickness of the rectangular-sectioned shank reduces towards a rounded end above which is a round transverse perforation. Similar to Crummy 1983 no. 4143. Weight 8.95g. Length 37.2mm. Head diameter 11.5mm. Mid 1st - 4th century.
