Description: | A copper-alloy oval, ring shaped mount of uncertain, but possible late Iron Age or Roman date. The mount measures 16.8 mm long and 13.2 mm wide. It is 2.6 mm thick. The cetntral ring is 9 mm long and 5.8 mm wide. The mount is worn but decoration can be made out on both of its faces. The decoration appears to be in the form of laural leaves. On one side of the mount slight wear is suggestive of a break from an attaching component. The precise function for this decorative mount is currently unclear and no parallels have yet been found. | 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: | -200
