Title
Duck mount
Description
English: A late Iron Age to Roman copper-alloy mount in the form of a duck, probably dating from c.100 BC - AD 100. The object is solid with an integral rivet to the underside. The body is tear-drop shaped with a D-shaped cross-section (being flat to the underside). From the rounded end, the neck which is oval in cross-section, extends vertically into a rounded head and forwards at an angle into a triangular shaped beak. 

The main body is decorated with two pairs of chevrons, one set meet at the rear of the neck, the second pair begin 1/3 of the way down the body and meet slightly above the tail. The tail is formed of a sub triangular knop extending from the end of the body. The underside of the mount is undecorated and retains a small central circular projecting lug/rivet.
