Description: | Cast copper alloy probable Roman mount. The mount is oval in plan and domed in section. It is moulded to the front with three raised irregular globular knops, a larger central knop flanked by two smaller, one of which is very slight. The object is very worn and it is impossible to tell what these knops may have once represented, though it is clear some design was intended. Around the knops is a raised moulded border, otherwise the mount is plain. The abraded surface is mostly dark green, but pitted and exposed surfaces are now light green. The reverse of the mount is concave and in a similar condition. There are no signs of any fixing attachments. The object is 22.22mm long, 18.54mm wide, 10.88mm thick and weighs 13.34g. The irregular nature of the knops may suggest it was miscast.
