Ave!

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

Copper alloy; 46mm/12.1gm

Con/ Tiny break on the connector end, otherwise, As Cast and Engraved; dark brown patina, cleaned and waxed.

Description/ Split top with both peened rivets flanked by complete amphora handles.

Ref/ A&L SL 13.3b variety. FYI - The authors note this type as unusual. 

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 man’s scrotum. OMG!
