A cast copper-alloy object, perhaps a mount or pendant, of possible Roman date. It comprises a central openwork motif depicting an eagle with splayed wings and head turned to the right. Short vertical grooves on the front face of the eagle delineate wings and claws, although the features of the head and beak are unclear. The eagle stands within a circular, twisted border, perhaps intended to represent a wreath or similar, that has a single circular rivet hole at the top centre. This has traces of iron corrosion and suggests the object may have either been used as a mount or pendant. A…

A cast copper alloy military harness mount of 2nd century AD date. S-shaped in plan and symmetrical, each terminal is in the shape of an openwork triangular head, with a ring-and-dot eye in the trinagular 'snout'. The form is similar to dragonesque brooches of earlier date, and reminiscent of dolphin-headed buckles of a similar date. The reverse is flat, and the object is D-shaped in section. A hole 2mm in diameter is placed at the top of each head. One is closed through iron corrosion, suggesting iron rivets held the mount to the leather (?) strap. David Williams, FLO fro Surre…
