Broad period: ROMAN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete mount or strap fitting of Roman date. This artefact is made of copper-alloy in the shape of a lion's head. It is roughly oval in shape, more rounded at the top with a slightly more acutely rounded lower end. The front surface is moulded into a convex dome and the reverse is correspondingly a concave hollow. This artefact weighs 7.78g, has a height of 29.2mm, maximum width of 22.4mm and depth from tip of front surface to reverse edges is 12.4mm. The thickness of the metal at the edges varies ranging between a minimum of 0.6mm to c.4.5mm at the upper and lower edge. A…

A worn Roman copper-alloy moulded anthropmorphic mount. This artefact is almost completely solid, with just a shallow concave depression on the reverse surface, weighing 65.78g. The mount has a sub-circular cross-section of 25.8mm height and 26.1mm width. From this measured flat edged reverse, the artefact contracts to a height of 24.0mm and width of 25.1mm before increasing again to 26.5mm height and 27.3mm width. The expansion to either side forms the moulded crescent shaped ears, which have shallow depressions at the centre of the forward facing side. The expansion above forms a…

A small copper-alloy bird mount probably/possibly of Roman date. This artefact weighs 5.17g, has a length, from tip of beak to tip of tail, of 31.6mm, width of 6.2mm and has a height, probably/possibly incomplete, of 19.7mm. The bird has a height, from tummy to head, of 14.3mm, the rest of the height being accounted for by the presence of an oval cross-sectioned projection directly below the body of the bird. This integral projection would have allowed the bird to be mounted onto something else, now unknown. The cross-section of this projection measures 3.9mm (aligned along the l…

County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper-alloy Roman decorative mount in the form of a moulded knob. This mount is likely to have been fixed to a casket. The mount which is now misshapen has a maximum diameter of 32.18mm and length of 27.90mm. At the top of the mount is a small spherical knob with a diameter of 8.27mm and length of 6.52mm. The mount then expands to its maximum diameter as a flat reel with rounded edges that probably had a slight ridge around the top, unless this represents later damage to the artefact. This flat reel is approximately 8.47mm thick. After the flat reel curves back in towards the cent…

Incomplete flat circular mount made from copper alloy. About half survives, and the mount is at least 26 mm in diameter. On the reverse one integral copper-alloy rivet survives, now at a slight angle, with a sub-triangular integral rove. The mount is relatively thin (0.9 mm) but the rivet is relatively chunky, and brings the total thickness up to 7 mm. 2.87g. This mount is likely to be Roman.

Three cast copper alloy Roman mounts or studs. The mount depicts a lions head and is the type used on burial caskets, generally dating from the 2nd century AD.
