Description: | Iron age or Roman? copper alloy mount, 13mm in diameter and 14mm long. The object is in good condition with a dark green patina and weighs 5.70 grams. The mount consists of a dome, 5mm deep, which is decorated with 'cup and ring' marks (which consist of an incised circle around a raised circle which in turn surrounds a hole). The dome has a raised tapering border 2mm thick which is decorated with vertical incised lines at close intervals which appear to form a gripping surface? The base of the object has a short shaft, 5mm long and 4mm in diameter, emerging from its centre. It is not clear if this shaft is complete or has cleanly snapped off. The top of the dome has been worn down so much that some of the decoration has been removed and the dome has a flattened top. | 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: | -800
