Description: | An incomplete Roman copper alloy mount, dating AD150-300. The mount is circular with an openwork decoration. There are two integrally cast rivets on the back of the object, one of which has broken away near the base. The reverse is also slightly concave. The decoration takes the form of two sets of opposing kidney shaped voids with two cast curvilinear designs encircling the openwork, with their ends overlaping. This makes the overall appearance resemble two opposing pelta shaped motifs.An identical but more complete example has been recorded on the PAS database (BM-C81D76). The design is of the Trompetenmuster style, which was common in the late 2nd and 3rd centuryDimensions: diameter: 29.02 mm; length of rivet: 7.21 mm; weight: 4.98g.
