Description: | A possible escuthceon from a Roman vessel or piece of furniture. The escutcheon is circular in plan, solid and has a flat back. The front is in the form of a three-dimensional figure of a lions head. The head is worn but clearly has a large mane, eyes, rounded snout and a mouth through which is a horizontal hole.A number of other similar mounts are recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme, and though most are Roman, some may well be of post-medieval date. Examples with a variety of functions include SF-0096E3, SF-5AC647, SF-7A9D56, SF-8842, SF-8319, LVPL-A50B03 and NLM-10C624.
