Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy Roman mount of probable Roman date. Only about one quarter of the mount remains. The mount would have been symmetrical, with a rectangular body and a narrow trapezoid extension at either end. There is a groove around the perimeter. On the reverse is an integral lug, and presumably there was another further down on the missing part.The mount is stylistically similar to Roman belt stiffeners (see, for example, M.C. Bishop and J.C.N. Coulston; 1993; pp. 174, nos. 3, 5 and 13). A similar mount, but with a crescentic hanging section, is recorded on the PAS datbase - see BH-1D40B5. The mount recorded here may also have originally had a crescentic protrusion.
