Description: | Copper alloy stud or mount of Roman date. The upper surface of the mount comprises a crescent shaped plate which is flat and generally rectangular in section. In the centre there is an irregular, broadly ??T??-shaped recess which retains much of the original red enamel. To either side of this there is a curved recess with wide rounded terminals to the centre, tapering to more rounded pointed terminals towards the edge of the mount. Each of these curved recesses retains considerable blue enamel. At either end of the reverse of the plate are the stubs of rivets or attachment spikes . These curve backwards from the plate and are generally pointed oval shaped in section, tapering from the junction with the plate to rounded terminals. The reverse is undecorated. Patchy pale and mid-green patina. Similar to an example from South Shields. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Williams, David W - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
