Description: | CURATOR'S REPORTDescription of findA distorted and fragmentary silver-gilt decorative mount of probable Roman date. The mount, probably a component of a composite object, appears to have been of flared octagonal form and seems to retain original upper and lower edges. There is an irregular W-shaped cut-out in one edge. The outer face has a symmetrical decor comprising a toothed band below each edge and two bands of running chevron with gilded ribbing between the bands.DiscussionThe damaged nature of the mount prevents a definitive identification or an unequivocal assignment to a particular period, but the decorative motifs and mode of manufacture are consistent with a Roman date.
