Description: | A cast copper alloy zoomorphic bucket mount. The mount is shaped like an elongated bovine face seen from the front. The face is quite realistic and has small stubby horns. There are two holes in the mount to take rivets, one in the forehead and one in what appears to be a protruding tongue. There is a small loop on top of the head to take the bucket handle. A mount of this size is surely designed for a small delicate bucket, and as such, 'bucket' may be an inappropriate term for such a small and carefully made container. This artefact probably dates to the Early Medieval period, but may possibly be late Iron Age.
