Description: | A large, copper alloy Roman bell-shaped mount, probably from furniture or a box. The mount is circular with the bell having a raised central projection and on the reverse, an iron shank, of which a small, corroded section remains. Between the bell and the shank is a truncated cone of alloy: the upper end of the cone meets the apex of the bell. There is an incised groove running completely around the base of the cone and another running around the lip of the bell. There is no other decoration. The mount has a light green patina. It is 28.7mm long and 27.8mm in diameter. It weighs 42.72gm. Parallels include SUSS-12D984 and ESS-063992.
