Roman copper alloy harness fitting
Possible harness buckle, cast. The leather would have been sandwiched between the two metal strips that originally formed the buckle strap, and would have been secured by two decorative rivets or nails. The holes for the rivets are clearly seen on the front of the buckle strap. The second strip at the back is missing; only a stump remains to mark its existence. The tongue and loop of the buckle are both secured by an iron pin.
