Description: | A cast copper alloy mount, harness fitting, or component of a brooch or similar object. The object is formed from a circular plate of copper alloy, with a raised rim. Extending out from the plate there is a circular loop, which has torn through. The function of the loop is not clear. On the main body of the object, inside the rim there are two further raised concentric circles. Inside the field between the rim and the first ring traces of blue enamel can be seen, but it has largely been lost due to corrosion and wear. They are set alternately with raised copper, which is flush with the rim. The cell inside the next ring is not enamelled but this may have been lost. Then finally the 'bulls eye' is orange. There are two inward facing lugs for attachment on the reverse of the plate. The identification is rather uncertain, as the author has not seen a Roman object like this one before. This object is Roman in date.
