Belt End, Heart-type with Amphora Handles, ca. 4th Cent AD, RARE!

Copper alloy; 55mm/34.1gm!

Con/ Break on the reverse, otherwise, As Cast and Engraved; dark green patina, cleaned and waxed.

Description/ Split top, with engraved circle-and-dots to either side, flanked by amphora handles.

Seller's Note/ What we have described as heart-shaped, is not exactly correct. The ancient Romans were never shy, you know? Such belt ends were worn long, near the crotch. Thus it is actually a Figural Depiction of a mans scrotum. OMG!
