Description: | An incomplete copper alloy Roman mount, possibly for a harness. Millefiori decoration, AD 50-300. The reverse outer edge is bevelled. Decoration consists of two fields of enamel decoration; the first and outermost field has the millefiori decoration; blue field with two rows of tiny quartefoils in white. The second field is mostly degraded but comprises alternating fields of red and white, the white fields smaller than the red and containing a small quartefoil in blue. The third, innermost field retains traces of a yellow substance around the internal rim only; a raised central dome with recess in the centre completes the mount. On reverse is an integrally cast shank (broken) protrudes from a hollowed centre. There are traces of silvering. This object adds to a growing corpus of objects decorated with millefiori.
