A complete copper alloy Roman phallic mount. The object is convex and 'T-shaped' in plan, the phallus itself being triangular in cross-section and its straight sides gradually converging towards the raised, moulded tip. At the other end, the testicles project at a right angle from either side of the phallus with an oblique grooves separating the rounded testicles from the base of the phallus. The reverse is concave, with a single square-sectioned pin at the centre. There remains  much of the white metal coating on the front of the object. Length: 33.24mm. &…

The nature of the fixings (see below) suggest it is probably a furniture escutcheon. A similar fitting, albeit from the handle of a metal vessel, was found in excavations at Verulamium (see Frere, 1972, fig. 43, no. 141) and the piece is also comparable to the smaller lion-headed casket mounts of the 1st century AD (see Borrill in Partridge, 1998, p. 320).
