Roman copper alloy openwork belt plate
Small open-work belt-plate. The ornamental panel is eccentrically placed to leave a broad margin on one of the short sides and a narrow margin on the other. These margins are pierced by holes for rivets and part of a rivet remains in that on the wide margin. The bronze tracery of the open-work design describes a central curvilinear lozenge with a heart shape to either side. There are bars across the upper and lower points of the lozenge and across the points of the heart shapes.
