Cast copper alloy mount or possibly lock pin dating from the Roman period, that is c. AD43-410. Only half of the object remains and the edges are worn smooth suggesting that the original break is ancient. The complete head was circular in shape with crescentric moulded grooves and a large lip around the central projection on the obverse. There is another projection on the reverse, but that is far more worn and could have been an attachment loop/shaft or similar.

A cast copper alloy military harness mount of 2nd century AD date. S-shaped in plan and symmetrical, each terminal is in the shape of an openwork triangular head, with a ring-and-dot eye in the trinagular 'snout'. The form is similar to dragonesque brooches of earlier date, and reminiscent of dolphin-headed buckles of a similar date. The reverse is flat, and the object is D-shaped in section. A hole 2mm in diameter is placed at the top of each head. One is closed through iron corrosion, suggesting iron rivets held the mount to the leather (?) strap. David Williams, FLO fro Surre…

A well preserved Roman copper alloy lion mask mount, one of a pair found roughly side by side [see also BUC-F52027] 500mm apart. It was clear that they had not been buried still mounted on the object they had been fixed to or with any other objects. The face and especially the mask stands proud of the rectangular base plate, the fringe of mane around it, with separate curling strands delineated in progressively shallower relief. The eyes are fully modelled including brows, lids, pupils and irises. The lion's cast of features is rather gentle looking and slightly lopsided. The revers…

Apparently complete but worn cast copper alloy decorative plaque, possible belt fitting or mount of Roman date. The plaque (or plate) is sub-rectangular in plan and has a convex section profile from left to right. The back is plain but the front is decorated with the raised image of a boar running right. The boar is lacking detail but the eye, tusk, legs, tail & mane are all defined. The boar is closely framed within a rectangle of running diagonal lines which loosely gives the impression of a twisted rope border. The design and artefact are both very roughly executed with no fine…
