An incomplete cast copper-alloy amphora-shaped strap end or strap fitting dating to the Roman period (AD 300-410). The upper part of the object is missing, but would probably have had two attachment loops (compare BH-D46306). The terminal is vase-shaped with a small knop at the base. A sub-circular opening is located in the centre near the top of the vase. Extending above, on either side, is a curved arm reminiscent of amphora handles. A small open cell is located on the inside of both handles.
