Title
Roman 'nail-cleaner' strap-end
Description
English: A fragment from the attachment end of a copper-alloy late Roman artefact known as a 'nail-cleaner strap-end'; it could have been either or both. The fragment tapers from a flat attachment end to a waist with a pair of out-turned crescentic lugs back-to-back. This trapezoidal terminal is bevelled along its long edges on its front; bevelling continues around the lugs and beyond. The object has been broken directly below the lugs following old damage. Where the lugs meet the body of the object lines have been engraved for emphasis on the front. The reverse is flat and plain. There is a rivet towards the attachment end, visible on the reverse, but flush to the front.

The object now has a silvery-grey colour. It measures 20.9mm by up to 10.0mm wide by 2.1mm thick and weighs 1.76g.
