Description: | Copper-alloy mount of Roman date. The mount is in the form of a bird, probably a duck, and may originate from a vessel. The features of the bird are stylised. It has an oval body with a domed upper surface, a semi-circular tail, an angular neck and an angular, flattened head. The wings are also marked by diagonal linear indentations along the side of the body. The underside of the piece is flat and has a central circular protrusion with a flattened surface. This probably served to attach the object to a vessel. A similar mount was found in excavations at Colchester and is suggested to date from the late 3rd to early 5th C. AD. | Subjects: | Mount | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burrill, Charlotte - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
