Description: | The object is a rectangular copper-alloy cast mount with a convex surface and hollow inside. The surface is decorated with an inlay of stripes of blue and red enamel. The stripes do not seem to appear in any particular pattern. The concave back is hollow except for a centrally placed short stud which was most probably meant to be pushed into the leather of a belt or a broad strap. The object is here described as a Romano-British mount, because of the shape and the red/blue enamel inlay; however, no immediate parallels could be found so far.
