Description: | A copper-alloy mount of probable Roman date.The mount takes the form of an inverted-drop-shaped plate, its upper surface decorated with three low moulded steps, the height increasing towards the centre. A truncated cone projects upwards at 90 degrees from the centre of the plate, with a circular depression at its apex. The point at the base of the plate curves upwards slightly, which may be an original feature rather than the result of damage. A sub-triangular lug extends vertically from the top of the plate, punctuated by a circular rivet hole. The reverse is flat, apart from the central area, which is hollow.Dimensions: 38.1mm long, 26.7mm wide, 13mm high. Weight: 11.83g.No parallel could be found for this piece; however, its form and light green surface patination are both consistent with a Roman date.
