Description: | A cast copper-alloy mount from Roman to Medieval period. The mount is conical, with a wide flaring base and narrowing to a protruding flattened terminal with a groove on its top. The mount may be in the form of a boar's head, with the groove as the animal's mouth. The mount's interior is filled with material and shows traces of lead soldering. The terminal is perforated and a copper-alloy ring is attached. The perforation and ring appear to be later additions to the mount. A copper-alloy wire has been wound and knotted around part of the ring, preventing it from rotating fully through the mount terminal.
