Copper alloy white metal coated horse harness mount that is circular in shape with a dished face and bevelled outed rim. There is a circular perforation in the centre of the mount for a rivet; this is immediately surrounded by a ring border, followed by four radiating lines that have expanded pellet terminals. A second ring runs around the mid-section of the plate from which emanates three radiating lines that extend to the edge of the plate. The face is coated in a white metal with each of the engraved lines remaining free of any coating. On the reverse are two parallel and integr…

Fragmentary copper alloy belt mount from a Late Roman military suite. It takes the form of a disc, much damaged around the edges, with a central hole for a now missing rivet surround by several concentric circles, one composed of pellets. The edge was probably decorated with a final outer circle composed of zigzags. This was surely a part of a mount similar to complete objects described as disc attachments with suspension loops from graves in Dorchester and Milton-next-Sittingbourne (Hawkes and Dunning 1961, p.2.5-9 and p.4b-c).

Roman copper alloy suspension mount in the form of a bovine head with round-sectioned horns, pointed oval ears, blind-drilled holes as eyes on gently swollen mouldings and, in place of a snout, a pair of lugs pierced for a spindle or hinge. Finely engraved lines between the ears and below the horns may represent the forelock. Two round-sectioned, integral, tapering rivets project 3mm from the edges of the slightly hollowed reverse. This object appears rather more refined than most Late Iron Age to Early Roman bucket mounts, and it might be acceptable to suggest that it r…

A complete copper-alloy mount of Roman date (c.AD 43-410). The face of the mount is convex and sub-rectangular. At each terminal there is a concentric circle below which is a ridge and two rows of small circular pellets. The detail at the centre of the face has been worn. The reverse is concave and undecorated. The concave edge suggests this was not hung from clothing, but rather fitted with another piece, such as that found on a belt or sword/dagger mount. This item is also slightly curved, similar to a sword sheath mount as described in Appels and Laycock (2007) p.42 Fig.AA5.7…

A cast copper alloy figurine or mount of Roman date in the form of a stylised duck (c.AD 43-410). The mount consists of a stylised duck head and neck. The beak is pointed and oval in in cross section. The head is narrow and angular, and has two converging incised lines on either side of the head to represent eyes. The elongated neck curves and leads to the flat, sub oval base that was likely attached to a vessel. . Duck mounts have been previously recorded on the PAS database, for example SWYOR-EDAEB6, BERK-D903F2 and NMS-80A7E1. Stylistically, the figurine appears to be Rom…

An incomplete Roman copper-alloy mount dating to circa AD 100-300. Asymmetrical, it is of a crescentic design. One end contains a central projection set either side of which are narrow projections. The lower half is thicker, containing a crescentic terminal which flares outwards. This creates hemispherical or pelta shaped recesses between the edge of each end. The front face is decorated with a faintly incised longitudinal groove. Projecting from the reverse of the thicker end is an integral circular-sectioned rivet with wide, flat end. There is no trace at the other end, suggesti…

Incomplete copper alloy openwork mount dating from the Roman period, c. AD 43-400. It is difficult to determine how much of this mount remains. It was likely broadly oval in shape but is now irregularly shaped. The plate is made up of moulded openwork decoration, mainly bilaterally symmetrical scrollwork which is typical for decorative items dating from the Roman period. Some of the scroll terminals are missing. There are no visible mount attachments however the apex of the mount may have served as a circular attachment loop. The object is rectangular in section and slightly convex. T…

Fragment of a Roman copper alloy openwork military harness mount with one disc-ended integral round-sectioned rivet on the reverse. The form of the complete object is uncertain but it would probably have been symmetrical. Trumpet derived motifs suggest it would have been close to some examples with zoomorphic and foliar decoration on Nicolay 2007, pl. 75. There are three non-recent breaks. Extant length 18.6mm. Thickness at rivet 7mm. Thickness without rivet 1.6mm. Weight 1.92g. AD c.120 - c.300.
