Description: | An incomplete copper alloy phallic shaped mount of Roman date (AD 43-410). The mount is T-shaped in plan and D shaped in cross-section with convex front and flat back. The largest element consists of a sub-rectangular shaft with and head with moulded definition. The shaft is decorated with a repeating incised linear pattern running laterally. At the base of the shaft, at the left hand is a round, convex testicle, which appear to be separated from the shaft by an inverted linear border, to the right hand side of the base is a broken and abraded area which is probably the remnants of a second testicle. The reverse is flat with a single integral rivet projecting from the centre of the shaft. The reverse is undecorated.
