Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy vessel mount of Roman date. It is missing the outer edge of the suspension loop due to old breaks but is otherwise complete. The mount has a pointed oval shaped plate with a convex front face and hollow back face. At the top of the mount is an incomplete but integrally cast circular suspension loop with central circular aperture. The back face is filled with a lead alloy that would presumably have enabled attachment of the mount to the vessel. The entire object has a slightly worn green patina and measures 51.97mm in length, 24.26mm in width, 9.82mm in thickness, and weighs 16.67g.This mount would have been attached to a vessel, probably a copper-alloy bucket, via the lead within the concave inner face of the plate. It is of Roman date with parallels noted in Suffolk (SF-DEC457, SF-1D1EA1, SF-2AE0A6) and at Verulamium (Frere 1972 fig 41, no 142).
