Description: | A Roman copper-alloy mount. Lion head mount which, it is suggested (see ref.), originates from a burial casket. The object is conical and measures 20.1mm in diameter. The display side extends upwards in four steps. The lowest step is plain, the second one up has indented lines which represent the mane, the third step contains the eyes, and the top step represents the nose. The reverse is hollow and has a projecting iron rivet at its centre. This rivet protrudes through to the upper surface also. The mount measures 11.2mm high and weighs 4.62g. It is slightly worn and corroded.
