The long, flat sheath is decorated with an oval plate on the front. Preservation condition: parts of the sheath and pin are missing. Date: 75–150, Roman Empire 27 BC–476. Material: bronze. Type: fibula. Dimensions: height 1.6 cm, width 4.1 cm, weight 0.006 kg., An irregular metallic object with a curved, open loop shape rests against a plain light gray background; the object appears tarnished with a mix of dull gold, brown, and dark gray tones, showing rough and pitted surfaces, a hinge-like thicker section at one end, a tapered pointed extension with a small round perforation toward the other end, and a thin curved arm projecting from the loop.
