Ave!

Harness, Strap Mount, Rosette Pattern, c. 1st Cent

Copper alloy; 38mm/13.8gm

Con/ One connecting pin missing, otherwise, As Fabricated; sound with raised central boss, green patina, vestiges of original gold gilt.

Seller's Note/ This strap mount phalera was constructed from two different cast parts: the phalera and the small (9mm) raised boss. A tiny 4mm pin was placed between the two and then peened into place to keep them soundly intact. More often than not, the central boss is missing, so does that make this rare...scarce? We've never seen one exactly like this one. Have you?
