A complete cast copper alloy anthropormorphic mount dating from the Late Iron Age to the Roman period. The mount features the head and shoulders, which are triangular and are slightly damaged. The facial features are worn but discernable, as is long, combed-back hair and possibly a robe or armour over the shoulders and upper chest. The figure is probably male although this is far from certain. The reverse of the mount is hollow and there is a long integrally cast spike for attachment. This may be a vessel escutcheon although the spike suggests is could have also been for a…

A small medieval belt mount. The mount is domed and sexfoil in shape, with concave, circular dishes on each lobe, and is broadly floral in design. These lobes surround a central rivet hole, 2.0 mm, with the rectangular rivet (8.0 mm long)in place. This particular type of sexfoil mount was clearly in common use during the mid-14th century, and continued to be popular late into the 15th century (Egan and Pritchard 1991, p186).

Almost complete copper-alloy Roman 'vulvate' or 'coffee bean' mount, dating to the period c. 150 - 300 AD. The mount is oval in shape, with a flat rim and convex body. A flat-bottomed groove runs longitudinally down the convex body, giving the impression of a coffee bean. There is a rivet at each end of the convex section on the underside of the mount. One of the rivets terminates in a large, flat, circular rivet head. The rivet head has broken off from the other rivet, apparently in antiquity as the broken surface is abraded and worn. The edges of the mount are chipped and ragged and…

Cast copper alloy mount, hexagonal and flat, with a large off-centre rivet hole 3.7 mm in diameter. The hexagon is not regular; two parallel and opposite sides are longer than the others, making it 19.64mm long but only 12.41mm wide. At the shorter ends, one angled corner is longer then the other, making the angle more acute; the rivet hole is placed where the centre would be if the hexagon was regular and both angles less acute. The central hole is surrounded by incised oblique lines which slant outwards from the hole. They are relatively regular around the less acutely angled hal…
