Title
Iron age strap union
Description
English: Copper alloy double-sided strap union. The oval central plate element has a frame of two raised crescents forming a central circular recess. On one side in the recess are two large raised ring and dot/ roundel decorations flanking two smaller ring and dots with a continuous frame forming an hourglass shape. At the centre of each of the roundels on the first side is a slight projection. This design is mirrored on the other side, although it is obscured by heavy corrosion. Instead of the domed roundels, on the second side these elements are flatter and each have a central spike that would have held a disc of coral (now missing). At either side of the oval central plate longitudinally is a circular sectioned attachment bar. These are attached on round-ended lugs projecting from the sides of the plate. These lugs are decorated with a white dot on the outer face. This is may be enamel. The strap union is quite thickly cast with a figure of eight profile.
