Description: | A copper alloy Roman harness fitting identified by Doncaster Museum. The mount is flat in profile and has a complex plan. There is a short section of a rectangular body, beneath which is a wider section in the shape of an elongated oval decorated with two transverse grooves. Beneath this are two flared curved wings, tapering to points, with an inverted heart shape below. A narrow strip of metal projects from the centre of the end of the heart and curves upwards to form a hook, but most of this is missing.. In the centre of the reverse is a short integral rivet, the point of which is missing. The mount has a patchy dark green patina. It is 50.7mm long, 29.5mm wide, and 5.3mm thick. It weighs 10.3gm. Another Roman hooked mount is NMS-1B5E61 and number 3.660 in The Catalogue of Small Finds from South Shields Roman Fort has some similarities too. | Subjects: | harness | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
