Object type: HARNESS FITTING
Broad period: ROMAN
County: County of Herefordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete cast copper-alloy annular ring. Probable harness fitting (strap distributer and/or strap union) dating to the Roman period, circa AD50-400. Identified as a probable harness fitting due to wear at two opposing points where the harness straps would have been attached. The ring is circular in plan. The ring has an irregular section with a protruding outside ridge. The ridge may have been unintentionally formed by poor casting but examples of ridged harness rings are given in Jackson (see below). The surfaces of the ring are heavily abraded and it has an uneven green patina. …
