Description: | Iron Age copper alloy mount, 48mm long, 23mm wide with a weight of 15.3 grams. The object has a green patina and is in good condition with slight damage at the mouth. The object consists of a hollow, slightly conical tube with the animals mouth formed of the narrow end. About a third in there are two eye sockets set close together, one filled with blue/green glass. Behind these there are small rounded ears which stick out each side, just behind the eyes. On top of the 'head' about half way down two large curved horns protrude outwards and upwards. At the other end on the lower side there is a small rivet hole cut through a crudely filed countersunk groove. The object may be from the tip of a drinking horn.
