A copper alloy Roman phallic mount dating from c. AD 43 - 410. The object is '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 the right and left hand sides and an oblique ridge separates the rounded testicles from the phallus. The underside of the object is concave with an integrally cast, circular-sectioned rivet at each end. The rivet at the tip is complete but the one at the top has been broken at the base. The object has…

A late medieval/ post-medieval gilded copper alloy disc with a (probably later) perforation close to one edge. The disc is now a little bent. With the perfoartion at the top it depicts from left to right (to one face only) grooved decoration in the form of a cross saltire formed of two opposing pairs of V-shapes, a central band of two vertical grooves c.5mm apart, and a further vertical groove enclosing within it and the right-hand curved edge of the disc an acorn springing from a curved branch, below another curved branch. The curved branches are formed of pairs of lines, the acorn …

A cast copper-alloy mount of post-medieval date (c.AD 1600-1750), plausibly a harness fitting. The mount has a heart-shaped plate that is very shallowly convex at the front and concave at the rear. At the narrow end there is an integral fleur-de-lis-shaped protrusion, bent down slightly at the tip. The central element of this feature is pointed and the two side fleurs are small and rounded, set at right angles to it. There is a V-shaped groove on the upper surface of the mount about halfway along which gives more definition to the heart shape. Below this, and above the lis terminal, …

A small copper-alloy post-medieval mount in the form of a fleur-de-lis. The central fleur is pointed, while the lateral ones are lobes set at right angles to it. They are delineated by V-shaped grooves between them on the upper surface. A large expanding lobe emerges from the base of the lis and is rounded at its end. The sides of the mount are bevelled subtly on the upper surface; the lower surface is flat. Emerging from the reverse of the central fleur is a truncated integral prong of rectangular cross-section, now vestigial. This is the only obvious means of attachment. Post…

A copper-alloy mount in the form of a Tudor rose of post-medieval date (16/17th century AD). This small mount is essentially flat and in the form of a double five-petalled rose with small pointed lobes in the cusps. The centre of the upper surface is moulded in low relief with five arms emerging from a central point to join the side of the internal rose. Between each arm a small spur springs from the side of the internal rose; thus five heart shaped cells are created. In one of these white enamel survives in place. In an adjacent cell formed between the roses is red enamel, and w…

A copper-alloy sheet binding, sub-circular in plan, of probable post-medieval date. The piece has suffered a longitudinal crack but it has only been slightly distorted in plan. The thin strip is flat at one end and cusped on the other other giving it the superficial appearance of a crown. The cusping is formed of triangles each with small semicircular cusps. An upper zone from just below the cusps is delineated by a double longitudinally incised line; the area below is plain, as is the internal surface. The upper zone is decorated with punched curvilinear decoration. Above the longitu…

A cast copper-alloy mount of uncertain date. The piece is flat and sub-oval in plan with an oval shape missing one end where there is a straight edge which may be complete or an old break. The front is decorated by a central dot with a large incised circle around it. Between this circle and the edge are three circular perforations for attachment. They are arranged in a triangle and the arrangement suggests the straight edge was not attached to an object in the same way as the opposite end. It may suggest the straight edge is original or possibly had a projection from it. Although plai…

A corroded and incomplete sub-rectangular cast copper-alloy mount of post-medieval date. The object is flat with a main rectangular body which incurves at one end to a width of 4.4mm before an old break; it appears to be truncated at the other end due to old damage. Before the end narrows there is a pair of double transverse grooves on the upper surface between which possible decoration within a rectangular field now obscured by corrosion. The main body beyond has grooves running just inside the long edges. The field within appears plain, again perhaps a product of corrosion, apar…

Post Medieval cast copper alloy mount. It has a central D shaped section with incised radiating lines creating a scallop shell appearance. There are large lobed knops projecting from the opposite ends (one in the centre of the straight edge of the D one in the centre of the curve). The one projecting from the straight edge starts with a narrow projecting bar which expands into a terminal in the form of a square flanked by triangles. The opposite projection has a large oval knop topped by a smaller more pointed oval knop with a horizontal incised line across the middle of it, possibly…

An incomplete cast copper-alloy mount of medieval date. The mount is sexfoil in form (sub-hexagonal), with incurving sides to the hexagon, and large rounded knops at the apexes. Four knops survive and have been bent both upwards and downwards to differing degrees. The mount has been perforated at the junction with the other two knops for small attachment rivets, one of which survives in situ. These other knops have been lost following old breaks at these weak points. At the centre of the mount is a shallow convex boss (H.: 5.8mm). It is decorated with seven raised annulets with cen…
