Description: | Roman cast copper alloy ??bell shaped?? mount. The upper half of the mount is comprised of the ??bell shape?? while the lower half comprised a square platform. The ??bell?? is circular in plan (26.63mm diameter) with a concave upper surface, with a central raised cylindrical boss (7.86mm diameter). The underside is convex, tapering into a cylinder which joins the ??bell?? to the integrally cast square platform. The platform measures 20.83mm by 20.67mm, and is 8.93mm thick. There is moulded decoration around the top and lower edge in the form of vertical lines, and the area between is slightly curved. The base of the square platform is covered in iron corrosion, and has a square slot (7.72mm by 7.93mm) where an iron shank would have been attached, to secure this mount onto a casket or item of furniture. The mount has a dark green patina, however most of the original surface has been removed, leaving it a light green colour. The mount has a total length of 31.14mm, and weighs 65.34 grams. | Subjects: | ??bell shaped?? | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McLean, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
