An incomplete copper-alloy Roman bucket mount, dating to the 1st-2nd century AD. The mount is in the form of a bovine swing bucket handle mount. The mount consists of a head of a bull/cow; it would likely have had a large loop above the head, which has been broken and missing. The front of the head has two horns protruding and sticking upwards, one of which is slightly bent back. The face of the animal tapers to a snout and has two eyes and nostrils. Part of the left side of the face is missing, just behind the left eye. The back of the head is hollow. The object is worn and …

Incomplete Roman copper alloy bucket escutcheon, inverted sub-triangular with an integral loop for the handle. Part of the loop and the lower end, the apex of the triangle, are missing (old breaks). The upper part of the reverse is concave, respecting the curvature of the bucket. Cf. Tassinari 1975, pl. XXVII nos. 130-7; Waugh and Goodburn in Frere 1972, fig. 41 no. 132; NMS-5825E6 and NMS-D75F24. A broadly comparable escutcheon from Piercebridge was convincingly described as "of stylised bovine type" (BM-4A2749). A number of examples can be found under object type "vessel": HAMP-744D…

An incomplete iron bucket handle mount probably dating to the Roman period. It possesses a rectangular-section bar, which tapers slightly to a jagged break, pierced at the other end by a round hole. Similar objects are most commonly interpreted as bucket handle mounts (see examples from Dragonby (Manning & McDonald, 1996, fig. 11.38, 69) and Dorchester (Manning 2014, fig. 153, 233), although similar terminals can be seen on the handles of some Roman pans (Hanemann 2014, Abb. 67), keys (Manning 1985, O39-42) and latch lifters (ibid, O19).

A copper alloy mount in the form of a sitting bird, of probable Roman dating (AD 43 to AD 410). The mount consists of a moulded copper alloy sitting bird, placed on top of a circular hoop. The bird is three dimensional. It has a hollow convex body with folded wings. A simple diagonally incised line on both sides of the mount indicate the edge of the wings. The neck is solid and is of circular section. This leads to a somewhat slender head with a sharp beak with a downward curve to the tip. The head is worn and no features are visible. The tail is also solid, but is flattened from a…

A fragment of a leaded copper-alloy bucket escutcheon probably dating to the second or third century AD. The mount depicts a female face with a centrally-parted hairstyle, possibly intended to represent a maenad or Medusa. The hair is piled up on top of the head in a bun and surrounds the head, where it is defined with a series of diagonal grooves. Moulding also marks out the top of two lentoidal eyes. Only a fragment of the surrounding mount (which was probably originally shaped like a vine leaf) survives. The underside of the mount is irregular in form. It possesses a marginal rib w…

A fragment of a copper-alloy escutcheon from a bucket dating to the second half of the second century to the mid-third century AD. The fragment comprises a flat, circular terminal with a central circular perforation. The terminal extends to a flat, approximately trapezoidal plate which is clearly broken. The object measures 20mm in length, a maximum of 12mm in width and is 1mm thick.

A cast copper alloy Roman zoomorphic bucket mount or escucheon, c. 43-410 AD. The mount is decorated with moulded relief in the shape of a lion's head, with remains of the semi-circular mane, followed by raised brow and cheekbones, with elongated sub-triangular snout and muzzle. Incised decoration creates further detail in the mane, creating segments within the mane; it also delineates the mane from the face and deeply-set almond-shaped eyes; two semi-circular nostril slits are also visible underneath the lion's nose. The reverse surface is undecorated and concave, with two pockets be…

Copper alloy bucket mount. Swan Head mount. A curving swan's neck, with bulbous forehead confirming the species represented, springs from a sub-triangular plate whose concavo-convex form suggests the mount was attached to a wood or leather vessel of estimated diameter circa 100mm. The upper part of the plate represents wings to either side of the neck, and, as lobed projections, the feet and ?tail below; incised lines emphasise these separate elements. The bird is portrayed rearing up: in aggression if the piece is ascribed a Celtic context - or lust if the piece alludes to Classical …
