Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy mount of probable Roman date. No parallel could be found for this piece but enamelled mounts are known in Roman Britain (see, for example, N. Crummy; 1988; pp. 118).
The remainder of the object is sub-triangular in plan. The cast decoration on the upper surface takes the two recessed bands and a central elliptical cell divided by a diagonal ridge. The outer band retains part of its original white (possibly enamel) setting, the band inside this has traces of yellow enamel and the central cell appears to be split, with a yellow half and a white half. The reverse of the mount is flat and plain with no means of attachment.
The object measures 23.2mm long, 22.2mm wide and 2.4mm thick. The weight is 2.79g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
