Description: | Cast cu-alloy circular openwork mount dating from the early Roman period, i.e. c. AD43-200. The mount is complete, but it a very poor condition. The surface on ob- and reverse as well as along the edges is badly affected by bronze disease and the mount is very fragile. The object is not broken or damaged and was probably mounted as a circular decorative mount on a broad leather strap. Two of the three small rivets are still intact and corroded into the rivet holes of the mount; one is missing. The decoration of the mount consists of a central openwork circle with three triskeles spread evenly around the centre.
