Description: | A copper-alloy object of probable Roman date. Although there is no obvious means of attachment, it is suggested that this is probably a 3rd century harness decoration or sword scabbard mount. Similar examples are illustrated by Bishop and Coulston (1993; pp. 131 and 156). For examples on the PAS database, see LIN-B7C2D4, SF-D88065 and BERK-514DF3.
The mount is pelta-shaped and has a decorative scroll-like border along the upper edges. Extending from the underside is short and possibly incomplete projection. The upper surface is slightly convex and the underside is concave. The surfaces have possibly been tinned or silvered.
The object measures 20.3mm high, 18.5mm wide and 3mm thick. The weight is 2.13g. | Subjects: | Pelta-shaped | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
