Description: | A cast copper alloy harness mount from the Roman period. The mount has a broad hexagonal backplate, which slopes slightly down from the central large oval boss. The boss has a horizontal groove across the centre. There are two integral rivets on the reverse, which are burred over' to hold them in place on the leather harness. This artefact dates to the 3rd or 4th century, and such types are commonly found in Germany.
