Description: | A fragment of a copper alloy probable box mount of Roman date. Only one terminal survives, it is cast and rectangular in shape, the complete edge consists of a roughly circular sectioned integral bar, with projecting knops and decorative transverse grooves along its length. The mount is then flat with rectangular section and there is part of a worn rounded hole through its centre. This hole may have accommodated a rivet originally to attach the mount to a box.This mount is 38.73mm in length, 27.13mm in width, 2.13mm in thickness, 10.91g in weight.This terminal is very similar to another probable box mount from Hoxne, which is complete, see SF-21E162, although this example has a separate iron bar running through the circular sectioned terminal end, both of these examples have no identical published parallel but could have functioned in a similar way to an example from Colchester (Crummy, 1983, 89, fig 93).
