Description: | Copper alloy object, possibly some form of mount, probably dating from 1st-2nd century. The object is clearly incomplete and the remaining part is made up of two conjoined trumpet shapes with openwork in between. The object probably would have been flat on the front, and about half of the design is missing. On the back there is a single semi-circular loop which probably had an attaching function. The object weighs 5.84g and measures 32.8mm in length, 25mm in width and 12mm in thickness (from front to back). A rough parallel for this piece can be seen in Brian Read's Metal Artefacts of Antiquity, page 3, No.12 and further similar parallels can be seen in Hattatt's 'Ancient Brooches and other artefacts' p.421, Fig.8, Nos.31 & 33.
