Description: | An incomplete and worn cast copper-alloy possible mount of probable Roman date. The object appears to have been miscast, with a large area of solid copper-alloy retained in one of the apertures and an uneven and unfinished appearance overall. This object is sub-oval in plan, with a convex upper edge and a slightly concave lower edge, and is rectangular in section. Two large circular apertures are located towards the lower edge of the upper surface; these are bevelled internally, with traces of the miscast copper-alloy appearing to conceal much of the right side aperture. To either side of the object at the lower edge are two small sub-oval in plan knops, with the one to the right also showing additional traces of miscast copper-alloy. This artefact has a light to mid green colour overall, which combined with the sub-pelta in plan form suggests a possible Roman date for this artefact.Measures 37.50x22.98x(max)4.37mm (min. thickness2.53mm). Weighs 12.79g.
