Description: | Cast copper alloy mount probably dating to the Post-Medieval period. The object is in the shape of a stag's head. It is a hollow cast mount and the antlers are asymmetrical. The eyes, nostrils and ears are moulded in relief. The remains of two circular attachments can be seen on the reverse, on in the hollow of the head and another projecting from the nose. The object has a dark green patina.There is also a close parallel in "Finds from Roman Aldborough" by Bishop, but it is now believed that the Bishop example was mistakenly identified as Roman and that objects of this type are in-fact post medieval furniture fittings. Similar examples which can be found on the database are SWYOR-33C043 and LIN-0B6761.
