Description: | A complete but damaged copper alloy disc mount dating to the Roman period. The face of the mount is decorated with a simple but abstract floral or rosette design, with the outer edges of the mount being crimped. Short linear scors on the edges of the 'petals' accentuate the design but there is no further detail. The reverse of the mount retains a stub of the integrally cast spike or prong, that would have secured the mount to a strap of leather item. Similar mounts are suggested to be horse harness decorations, military apron or baldric mounts. It islikely that this mount dates from the first to third centuries AD.
