An incomplete copper alloy bar mount probably from a casket or item of furniture, probably of Medieval date, AD 1100 - 1400. The mount is a bar of D shaped cross-section. One end bends to the side and tapers to a worn rounded blunt end. At the other end, the bar thickens and is moulded into a zoomorphic animal head, looped ears towards the broken end of the bar. Two copper alloy rivets pass through the animal head moulding. A deep groove across the bar by one of the rivets is probably post depositional damage. A small piece between the groove and the rivet has broken off, but still sur…

A complete, copper alloy, Roman, mount, in the form of a lion's head, AD.200-400. The object comprises a circular hollow backed mount in the form of a lions head. The lion looks outwards face on, with a rounded triangular nose, oval eyes and a surrounding mane of incised curving lines.
Larger mounts of this form have been found in cemetaries and are presumed to be casket fittings, evidence for lead solder on the interior might be the remains of an attachment, perhaps being used to cover, plainer base metal rivets or nails.
