Title
DEV-8FDD22 Roman mount
Description
English: A cast copper alloy mount, probably used as a decorative feature attached to the rim of a vessel. The mount depicts the bust of a female figure with an elaborate hairstyle tied in a top knot at the front; at the back of the head, the hair continues in a thick braid down to the neck. At the top of the head, the braid becomes free from the figurine, presumably to act as a ‘hook’, in order to aid attachment to the rim of a vessel. A hole at the bottom of the mount would have served as a means for further securing the mount to a vessel with a rivet. The head is slightly angled to the left and the facial features are worn. Drapery is depicted by short vertical lines extending from the shoulders and dropping to below the neck, creating a ruffled appearance. With the exception of the braid, the back of the figurine is plain. Although the facial features are no longer present, and the item is a little abraided, the overall condition is good.
