A cast copper alloy porcine (boar/pig's head) vessel / bucket mount dating to the Late Iron Age / Early Roman period 50 BC – 100 AD. The mount is approximately sub-rectangular in plan and D-shaped in cross section, with a flat bottom and then curved upper surface. The mount varies in width and thickness along the piece. It is widest and thickest at the "back" of the head, which is also rounded. From this point its width and thickness gently narrow, creating a rounded forehead from the front of which a narrow snout extends. This snout widens and thickens suddenly at its tip. A p…

A worn copper alloy object, 22.2mm in length, which has been folded in on itself around a lump of ferrous concretion, possibly the remnants of a fitting, on its convex reverse. The exterior surface is smooth and worn, with a single projecting triangular knop at one end, a moulded ridge across the other and a projecting lobe to one side. Possibly an Iron Age mount, perhaps originally in the form of a stylised human face (although the folded and worn condition now makes it difficult to discern) and from a harness fitting or vessel. Circa 1st century BC.
