Description: | Bull head. The head has horns pointed forward. The nose of the bull faces down. The nose of the bull faces downwards. The decoration consists of an 'X' across the face, and a smaller 'x' in the upper portion of the face. The nose has an expanded semi-circle providing the nose with a terminal. There are two rivet holes, one along the nose, the second in the centre of the forehead. On the reverse the central portion of the mount is concave, as if it is designed to fit onto something specific. The indentation at the top of the head is trapezoidal in section linear grooves/scratches in the indentation suggest file or chisel marks. The horns are incomplete, probably broken in antiquity as the patina has formed over the break.
