Description: | An incomplete copper alloy cast pelta-shaped object, possibly a mount. A similar item, BH-6ESCA4, was identified as a Roman mount by Ralph Jackson at the British Museum. No means of attachment survive. The object is flat. In plan it has a semicircular curved base. From each of the top corners of the lower curve the top curves inwards in small semi circles creating two recesses either side of a central rectangular extension. The rectangular extension is broken from an old brake which appears to have been broken off by a twisting force, slightly distorting the remaining section. It measures 41.4mm wide by 24.2mm high and 5.2mm thick. It weighs 16.86g.
