Description: | A copper alloy mount in the form of a finely moulded deer??s head. The mount is convex and is sub triangular but with the deer??s antlers projecting above. It is 32.6mm long, 29.2mm wide and 7.3mm thick. The stag??s head is moulded in relief. Each antler has three prongs, there is moulding to suggest the animal??s hair on its forehead, the ears and eyes are oval and there are clear circular nostrils. The reverse is hollow and in the centre is the stub of a projecting circular shank which is hollow. The mount has a dull brown patina. A very close parallel can be seen on the database recorded as find number LIN-0B6761. There is also a close parallel in "Finds from Roman Aldborough" by Bishop, but it is now believed that the Bishop example was mistakenly identified as Roman and that objects of this type are in-fact post medieval furniture fittings. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
