Description: | Copper alloy mount, dating from the late Iron Age to Roman period.
It is symetrical in design but one end has broken. In the centre is a rectangular plate which has a raised central ridge giving it a V-shaped cross section. In the middle of each long side there is an arm which extends touwards. They start off bulbous then narrow half-way along before expanding slightly at the terminal. They have a flat terminal with a semi-circular loop. One of these loops has broken off. The remaining one has a rivet through the hole so it is likely they were used to attach the mount. On the reverse there is a single circular stud on the reverse in the middle of the central panel. The mount is hollow on the reverse and slightly domed.
No exact parallels could be found for this mount but it is likley to have been used on harness and it's patina and style suggests a Late Iron Age- Roman date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McIntosh, Frances | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
