Description: | A copper-alloy object which is probably part of a Roman military type mount. Two other Roman mounts were found in close proximity to this piece - see BH-1656D7 and BH-168C55. For a more complete example of this type of mount, see BH-1D40B5.
The piece takes the form of a small crescent with two adjoining rounded lobes at the bottom. The upper surface slopes slightly towards the outer edge and retains possible traces of silvering or tinning. The top edge is jagged, indicating that the piece has been broken off a larger object. The reverse is rough and was clearly not designed to have been seen.
The object measures 15.4mm high, 18.3mm wide and 2.1mm thick. The weight is 2.29g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
