Description: | Cast copper alloy openwork mount from the Roman period.It is reminiscent of the Celtic 'trumpet' motif or trompetenmuster style brooches. It is formed by two dragonesque style heads, one at each end. The middle section of the mount is an openwork design leaving two pelta shaped holes. It is complete and is D-shaped in cross section being flat on the back and slightly domed on the front. On the reverse are four studs, two at each end, behind the dragonesque style heads. The mount has an even dark green patina. A similar mount was found in South Shields although this is a threepiece openwork motif, no. 3.766 (Miket and Allason-Jones; 1984; 222).
