An incomplete mount of Iron Age date. The mount is circular in plan with a concave reverse and convex front. The front face is decorated with a series of radiating incised lines grouped in threes around the circumference of the mount. The reverse bears the worn remains of a square sectioned attachment shank. While the exact function of this object is uncertain domed circular mounts are a feature of late Iron Age metalwork and appear on a wide range of artefact types such as sword hilts and terret rings. The metal has a light brownish-green patina and is worn. The mount is 24.1mm in…

An incomplete cast copper alloy vessel mount of probable late Iron Age date. The mount is a pointed ovoid in plan with a concave reverse and is decorated with the features of a human face. The hair is marked by incised lines forming a straight fringe and long sides which continue to form a beard. The eyes appear to be closed, the nose is quite pointed and the lips are downturned giving the appearance of a frown. The top of the head has a worn, sub-rectangular protrusion. The hollow reverse allows room for the lock mechanism which no longer remains. A small perforation is present throu…

A cast copper alloy and enamel mount or stud with integral pin from the late Iron Age- early Roman period. It is square in plan, flat on the top (enamelled face) and curved on the base. The base is plain with an incomplete stud 6.35mm in length. The front is split into three rows of three cells by raised lines of copper alloy. This gives a chequerboard pattern. The cells are filled with enamel, alternating red and yellow. Chequerboard enamelling can be seen on other Iron Age objects such as harness equipment, for example two linch pins recorded on the PAS database as WMID-947693 an…

Iron Age copper alloy openwork strap fitting. It is oval in plan with openwork motifs formed of a central small pelta with a smaller inverted pelta below and a larger pelta to either side. There is a small oval opening located towards one of the longer edges; this opening has a U-shaped projection on both faces, with the open side of the projections on the outer edge of the fitting. These two U-shaped projections are H-shaped in section, with the middle bar of the H' formed from the main body of the fitting, and are presumably reinforced to accomodate a narrow leather strap. Both fac…

A copper alloy Iron Age mount in very good condition. The mount has a sub-spherical knob on a curved base. The base is an elongated oval in plan, with rounded ends. In profile, the bottom edge is convex suggesting the mount was fixed to a concave surface. The reverse, or underside is concave; U shaped. There is a small circular rivet hole in each end of the base, on the top face. The top and sides are decorated with curved double grooves. One line runs across the base at each end, just inside the rivet hole. Further lines spring from the centre of each of the first lines, and curve…

A copper alloy triskele mount dating to the Iron Age. This type of mount was attached to horse harnesses as hanging decoration. The mount consists of a central cylinder surrounded by three strands of metal which curve back on themselves and are rounded at the termination. This forms the basis of the triskele decoration. The mount is otherwise undecorated, although there may be evidence of gold enamel at the top of the cylinder. The metal is dark green and the object is well preserved. It weighs 10.4g and measures 32.19mm in length, 30.66mm in width and 3.22mm in thickness. An example …

An incomplete cast copper alloy mount, probably a a decorative shield clip dating from the late Iron Age to the transition into the early Roman period, c. 300 BC-c. 100 AD. The fragment consists of a hollow tubular sheet of copper alloy with the two long edges open slightly, perhaps to facilitate other components or hold the material it was fixed to. The tube is flat-ended and the wear in this area makes it uncertain if the edges are original or breaks from a longer object. The object is decorated with a series of raised collars in a 'reel and bead' design common to other objects, suc…

Copper alloy mount. The finder kindly suggests this may be a strap fitting but there is scant evidence for where a strap could pass through the object, which is cast in one piece. A central baluster or dumb-bell shaped element is flanked by two pairs of discs, each disc having a central boss, sunken gutter and raised rim. The flat smooth back of the object curves, as if intended to be attached to a convex object. Suggested date: Late Iron Age, 100 BC - AD 100. Length: 22.6mm, Width: 19.1mm, Thickness: 6.5mm, Weight: 8.79gms.
