Cast copper alloy casket mount with lion-head decoration dating to the Roman period. The object is sub-conical, having a sub-triangular section and circular plan. The lower rim of the object shows signs of damage. An undecorated, smooth band forms the base of the mount, this being of varying length due to the breakage of the rim. The lion-head motif starts on the step up from the undecorated band. This forms the mane of the lion and comprises short radiating, curved lines. The next step up forms the eyes and mouth of the lion; these are arranged around the raised triangular snout…

A cast copper alloy mount, probably from a vehicle. The mount has a base or back shaped like a sexfoil; adjoining the upper and lower lobes are two perforated lugs. From the centre of this backplate protrudes a three-dimensional, realistic likeness of a wild boar’s head and forelegs. This artefact was found by detectorists from Lancashire on a farm in Osbaldwick; a cast was made of the artefact (this replica was kept by the farmer), and the original was bought from the farmer. This potentially unique artefact probably dates to the 1st or 2nd century. (Recorded from the replica)
