Description: | A fragment of a possible Roman harness mount, or 'phalera'. Openwork phalerae of similar form are illustrated by Bishop and Coulston (1993: 156). The curvature of the outer side of this openwork mount suggests that it was originally circular in plan. Extending inwards from the inner edge of this outer ring are three linked curved elements, the central two extending into a broken projection. Each curved element has within its surface a recessed cell containing traces of enamel. Projecting from the outer edge of the mount is a circular knop. The reverse is flat and plain.The object measures 40.6mm long, 20.lmm wide and 2.3mm thick. The weight is 5.85g.
