Description: | Copper alloy decorative mount, probably Roman in date. The object is rectangular in shape and flat with a decorated front surface and a plain reverse. The front has a raised rope design border and five oval cells running down the centre. Inside two of these cells there remains some blue enamel and it is likely that there was a contrasting colour enamel around the cells. The back of the mount displays some iron corrosion suggesting that it has been in contact with an iron surface, possibly mounted to one. there are no obvious rivets or studs for attachment.
The piece weighs 7.6g and measures 40.7mm in length, 11.9mm in width and 2.84mm in thickness. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Marshall, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
