Description: | Incomplete copper alloy Roman openwork mount. This mount is circular in plan with chamfered edges. It has been cast in one piece with an openwork design that consists of four lunular or kidney shaped perforations (two to each side) with each pair being divided by a curlicue shaped integral moulding. The reverse of the mount is slightly countersunk. There are two thick rivets with circular roves. The original surface of the object is missing. The exposed surface is rough with a dark brown patina to both sides of the mount, with tiny flashes of bright green corrosion product to the front (the object has been treated since discovery). The mount has approximately one quarter of its chamfered edge missing. It has a diameter of 32.4mm, is 3.34mm thick and weighs 6.80g. The rivets are 4.68mm long with a diameter of 7mm across the roves. An exact parallel for this mount can be seen in Allason-Jones and Miket,1984,Catalogue of Small Finds from South Shields Roman Fort page 226, number 3.778. | 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: | 100
