Roman copper alloy lorica segmentata tie ring
The basal rib is crudely rendered and consists of little more than a straight edge and two projecting pieces at the base of the ring. There is a stout shaft of circular cross-section, flaring slightly into a rib at the end as if it had been hammered. The line of the shaft is at an angle to the rest of the fitting.
