Late Roman Purse Fastenings

Set of late antique bag fittings (set 1) based on finds from Kleinlangheim. The set includes 2 hooks, 2 latches and 2 strap ends.

Such metal fastenings are mostly found in the Elbe-Germanic area in the transition period between late antiquity and the time of the migration period. Due to the location in the grave, the fittings are addressed as parts of a belt pouch or purse. The reconstruction was carried out according to a suggestion by M. Schulze.
