Description: | Copper alloy bell-shaped mount with moulded decoration and a broken integrally copper alloy shank below. There is a single collar at the base and two bulbous mouldings above. The piece appears to be unfinished. Similar objects are common finds on Roman sites although their functions are unclear. Some types were helmet attachments, others box mounts, and other perhaps serving a purpose similar to 'bell-shaped studs' (see: Allason-Jones 1985). Similar examples have been found at Camerton (Jackson, 1990, plate 13 no's 130 - 131), and Castleford (Cool, H, 1998, p69, fig. 22. no's 240-241).
