Description: | An incomplete, worn and corroded cast copper-alloy Roman mount. The mount is formed of a circular in plan suspension loop which is 'D' shaped in section (measuring 15.9mm in diameter, with the aperture 8.3mm in diameter), which extends to form a sub-rectangular in plan bar. In the centre of the mount, below the suspension loop are two raised elliptical forms which extend horizontally (total width of 33.5mm). Between these forms is a single circular aperture, possibly intended to assist with attachment. From this, the body of the mount then narrows and tapers inwardly to form the rectangular extension (17.65mm in length, 4.8mm width). This rectangular extension curves slightly in profile, and appears uneven at the lowermost point, suggesting a possible previous continuation of this artefact. On the reverse of the mount, an elongate hollow is present behind the elliptical forms. This artefact has a light green colour and slightly pitted surface, and measures 40.1mm in length, 33.5mm width, 6.9mm in thickness, and weighs 15.31 grams.
