Description: | Cast copper alloy Roman bird mount. The mount has a shank with a moulded solid bird sitting on the top. The shank is rectangular in plan and square in cross-section, with a circular hole through the top just below the sitting bird. The holes are located to the side of the bird and measure 3mm in diameter. The bird is probably a duck. The bird has a slender body with an angled neck and narrow head. The tail is flat, triangular in plan with circa 5 incised lines forming an upside down 'V' shape emphasising the tail feathers.
