Greetings all.
During my extensive research on Roman saddles this interesting item has cropped up in conversation with an acquaintance from the Peak District (sadly, everyone gets bored by me and Roman saddles...). Even more sadly she can't remember which museum it is in and I have so far failed miserably to find it!
May I ask, therefore, if anyone has any more information/photographs/drawings and most importantly excavation reports on this and the other leather items found at the Roman mine works (lead mining I believe)? (1980s).
Edited to add: I am rather hoping she isn't confusing this with the saddle cover found in CASTLEFORD in West Yorkshire!!!
Thank you kind people in advance.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!
