Copper alloy enamelled mount, probably of Roman date, possibly 2nd or 3rd century The mount is of circular form and would have had six integral radiating wires of rectangular section, one fragmentary example now survives (giving an overall surviving width of 21.9mm, a weight of 3.1g; with a surviving rod length of 4.8mm, a width of 1.2mm and a thickness of 1.4mm). The base is circular (with a diameter of 7.5mm) with a stepped moulding, which the six rods are equally spaced around. The sides are convergent to the circular face (with a height of 5.6mm and a diameter of 4.5mm). The …

Possible copper alloy plate from a brooch of uncertain type, possibly Roman The object comprises a fragmentary and distorted circular disc of sheet metal (with a maximum distorted diameter of 34.2mm, a thickness of 0.1mm and a weight of 2.4g). The rear has what appears to be an integral catch-plate adjacent to the edge (with a depth of 7.8mm and a length of 6.2mm). There is the possible suggestion that the plate has broken across a central hole. There is no decoration evident on the surface but there appears to be remnants of tinned or silvered surface on the front of plate. Else…

Copper alloy pan-weight of uncertain date The weight is circular and is rectangular sectioned (with a diameter of 15.5mm and a thickness of 3.3mm). The face is decorated a concentric ring and inner depression, possibly turned. The reverse is flat and has three punched indentations, possibly in a triangular arrangement. The surface has a mid-green patina with file marks evident on the underside. The weight now weighs 2.92g, equivalent to 0.103 ounce and it is possible that the weight was a one-eighth ounce weight under the Mercantile, Avoirdupois or Tower systems (equivalent to 3…

Copper alloy bar ingot of uncertain date The ingot is of consistent sub-rectangular form (with a length of 34.9mm, a maximum width of 16.9mm, a maximum thickness of 9.5mm and a weight of 31.2g). The ends are irregular but it is now unclear whether they have broken more recently. The upper face has been hammered with transverse lines forming grooves. The reverse face has a small number of weaker punched linear marks. The surface has a dark-brown patina with areas bright-green corrosion.

Copper alloy decorative terminal, possibly from a pin of Roman date The object is fragmentary, represented by the damaged terminal; a shaft fragment (with a surviving length of 33.4mm and a weight of 3.4g). The top of the terminal was conical (with a basal diameter of 7.0mm) and is heavily corroded, with a differential corrosion, beneath which the terminal is of faceted-globular form before a moulding above the top of the shaft. The shaft is circular sectioned and gradually widens (from a diameter of 2.8mm to 5.0mm) before narrowing slightly towards the break. The surface has a d…

Copper alloy looped mount possibly a vessel escutcheon of Roman date The mount is incomplete, missing part of the loop and is heavily-worn and corroded (with a surviving length of 43.4mm and a weight of 16.2g) and is of anthropomorphic sub-oval and domed form. The oval domed head (28.7mm long, 23.9mm wide and 10.6mm deep) appears to be inverted in relation to the loop being at the top. The circular loop is integral and rectangular sectioned (with an internal diameter of 10.1mm, an external diameter of 15.5mm and 3.6mm thick) and has no surviving applied decoration. Below the lo…

Copper alloy looped mount, probably of Roman date The cast mount comprises a sub-circular loop on an integral domed base (with an overall length of 40.3mm and a weight of 38.3g). The loop (35.1mm wide x28.6mm high external and 23.9mm wide and 20.2mm high internal) is circular sectioned (5 - 6mm diameter) and is undecorated. There is a slight suggestion of wear facets on the interior of the top of the loop, which if correct, would seem to suggest strap-rubbing. The base is circular and hemispherical (with a basal diameter of 26.2mm and a height of 11mm) and has a grooved border ar…
