Description: | A cast copper alloy Roman mount, probably dating from the 3rd century. It is formed from a sub rectangular piece of copper alloy, with rounded corners. This main body has a D-shaped section, being domed on the exterior and hollow and concave on the interior. The exterior surface of the mount has been decorated with two pairs of incised lines at either end of the mount. Extending down from the lower surface are two fungiform rivets of circular section, each with wide rounded terminals. The object has a dark grey/ green patina. There is a similar object, described as a 'tubular mount', in Appels and Laycock (2007) Roman Buckles and Military Fittings, p. 93. See also YORYM-06D867 and SWYOR-10C3D0 for a more elaborate example.
