Description: | Copper alloy mount of Roman date in the shape of a lion.The mount is incomplete, having broken just before the hind legs. It is made of solid copper alloy and has been cast.The face is facing forwards and shows the lion with his mouth open. The eyes, nose and details of the mane have been picked out. Behind the mane the mount narrows and is smooth on all surfaces. It widens again where it reaches the hind legs. The break here is uneven and appears old. This would have been a mount on some piece of furniture and is most likely to be Roman.
