Roman copper alloy hooked fitting, probably from a necklace, dating to the period c. AD 43 - 409. A rectangular, square-sectioned body with a polygonal lug with a circular perforation projecting from one end and a hook projecting from the opposite end. The hook tapers in thickness along its length, terminating in a pyramidal knob. Johns (1996, 94) discusses several gold necklace chains from the Thetford hoard which exhibit similar hooks. Similar examples in gold (KENT-0B2382) and silver (DOR-DB47E8) have been recorded on the PAS database.

Cast copper alloy Roman object. The object is rectangular in plan and section and measures 33.1mm long, 19.22mm wide, 4.98mm thick and weighs 20.64g.

There is some abrasion and tiny patches of exposed surface show as mid green. The object is engraved on one face, to one end, with a pair of clasped hands set within a circular border of dots. At the opposite end on the same face, is an engraved portrait of a Roman emperor, probably Julian (AD 355-363), diademed…
