Description: | A Roman copper-alloy vessel mount. It is pelta-shaped with three terminals on the upper edge, each of which has an incised longitudinal line down the centre. The upper surface of the piece is flat and the reverse is hollow. This depression appears to contain a black and orange coloured fired clay, suggesting that the piece may have originally been mounted on a pot. It measures 36.8mm wide by 20.4mm high and 5.9mm thick. It weighs 15.9g. A similar example was found in excavations at Colchester (Crummy 1983, 73 no. 2051 fig. 76) where it was suggested to be possibly a foot from a bowl.
