Description: | This very small cast copper-alloy object is a most likely a Roman military mount.
The object as a whole is tear-shaped in plan, formed of a band curving round at one end and terminating in a sub-oval lobe.
Roughly a fifth of the way along the object (moving away from the lobe) are two fat, tear-shaped protrusions placed either side of the object, where the object begins to falre out to form the tear-shape, and positioned at roughly 45 degree angles from the main body of the object.
There are a further two longer, narrower tear-shaped protrusions placed one on each side of the 'tear' roughly 4-fifths of the way along the object (moving away from the lobe). These are positioned at roughly 90 degree angles from the main body of the object.
There is a dent in the middle of the fat, rounded end of the 'tear'. This appears to be part of the decoration.
The reverse is flat with two attachments. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 43
