Description: | A Roman copper-alloy mount or finial.The lower portion of the object has a flat, circular underside, at the centre of which there is a circular recess containing part of an additional copper-alloy element. A groove extends around the base of the outer surface of this lower portion, the diameter of which decreases towards the top, where it extends into a vertical arm, also of circular section. A knop, smaller but otherwise identical in form to the lower portion of the mount, surmounts this arm; a ring-shaped moulding is located at its apex.Dimensions: 19.5mm high, 15.5mm wide (base). Weight: 12.55g.Similar mounts were found in excavations in an early 4th to mid 5th century grave fill in Colchester (see Crummy 1983: 168/fig. 204, no. 4656). Parallels on the PAS database include ESS-D51A71 and LIN-5B92F4.
