Description: | A copper-alloy mount of Roman date (cf. Crummy 1983: 118, nos. 3217-3221).The mount takes the form of a thin disc, into the upper surface of which have been cast three concentric cells around a deeper central cell. The majority of the surviving enamel is within the outer ring, where there is a repeating pattern of white wave scroll over a dark blue background. There is some damage to the outer edge of the mount, which has resulted in the loss of part of this outer ring. The next ring in retains a very small amount of green enamel, but the surface was clearly segmented throughout. This segmentation is also apparent on the inner ring, whose surface bears tiny amounts of red and green settings. At the centre of the reverse is an integrally-cast rivet of circular section, the point having been flattened. The circumerence of the mount is marked by a downward-angled rim, the base of which forms a rough overhang. The mount measures 37.5mm in diameter, 2.7mm thick (not including the rivet) and weighs 10.13g.
