Description: | A copper-alloy probable mount which is extremely worn and incomplete and distorted due to damage, due to the condition of this object it is difficult to be sure of its date or function, however, it is possibly Roman and a vessel or bucket mount.The object is in the form of a forwards facing bovine head, it measures 25.91mm in length and 24.71mm in width, 8.86mm in thickness. The front face is rounded and moulded, the cow or bull has a moulded fringe and one surviving tapering oval shaped ear, the other ear and upper corner of the head is missing and distorted. The eyes are worn but one can be seen and appears to be circular in shape, the snout is short and square ended. The back face appears to be hollow with irregular lumps of copper-alloy within it, due to the condition any attachment device can no longer be seen.
