Description: | Copper alloy mount. This object is subrectangular in plan, with one rounded end, and semicircular in section. The straight end is smooth but has a diagonal profile, so it is not clear whether the mount is complete, or has been truncated and the break edge worn smooth over time. The mount is decorated with two raised dots. To the reverse of the mount is the fragmentary remains of a lug in line with the raised dot above, and a slightly raised profile in line with the other raised dot. This might suggest that if the object had two lugs, then it is in fact complete. The original surface of the mount is missing and it now has an abraded surface with a dark brown patina. There is some encrustation of light brown corrosion product to the reverse. The mount is 16.46mm long, 6.88mm wide, 2.88mm thick and weighs 1.22g. Given its association with known Roman objects, it is probably of that date.
