Description: | Cast copper alloy mount in the form of the foreparts of a boar. The mount has been cast with forelegs thrust well forward, a projecting hind part and a corroded hole through the nose. The feet are cloved. The reverse of the body of the mount is concave. A number of parallels have been found. Examples from Aldborough, Eastcheap and London are published by Foster (1977, p21), and are described as probable vessel mounts of provincial rather than Roman style and date. Exact dating and use is, however, uncertain.
