Ave!
Harness, Strap Adornment, Open Work, c. Mid-Late 1st Cent, Scarce!
Copper alloy; 57mm/6.1gm
Con/ Missing domes, otherwise, about As Cast; rich brassy patina; cleaned and waxed.
Description/ As seen in the photo (read below), a pair of incised circles about the rivet holes, above and below the open work frame. The top incised circle features a blob of either solder or Roman glue.
Ref/ Note found in any common resources but we finally found a clear reference in the Vindonissa Catalog, #1719.
Seller's Note/ Perhaps oddly, or not, none the the line drawings in the Vindonissa Catalog show any domes at all; only the incised circles about the holes. Such a lack could be possibly explained as when the archaeologists were digging the stable quarters of the fort, all that remained were
discarded and or broken tack parts?
Scarce in any condition, trust me, kids.
