Description: | A copper-alloy mount of Roman date. The head of the mount consists of a thin circular plate with a raised ridge around the perimeter plus two further, concentric ridges inside. The central cell contains a mid blue enamel setting; the surrounding ring has three orange enamel settings interspersed with three now-empty settings; the outer ring has two of an original five - the positions indicated by darker surface areas - light greenish-blue enamels, with larger, now-empty, interspersing cells. Extending from the centre of the mount's reverse is an integral rivet of square section. The mount measures 15.2mm in diameter, 6.6mm thick (including the rivet) and weighs 1.4g. Parallels for this piece were found in excavations in Colchester (Crummy 1983: 118, fig. 121). This mount was also found in close proximity to another enamelled mount (BH-A2F5E1).
