Object type: STRAP FITTING
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy unidentified object fragment, possibly part of a strap fitting. A cast bar, now part-melted, to which are attached the expanded ends of a small integrally cast spool-shaped object of length 14.2mm with expanded round ends with a space 9.4mm wide between bar and spool. A function entailing the constraint of a light strap might explain this form. The melting of the object is unlikely to have come about accidentally.

Unidentified object fragment. A small shard from a flat thin [1mm] plate which is broken on all sides and bears a figurative inscribed scene on one flat face.
