Title |
Escutcheon (rear) |
||
Description |
English: Near complete copper alloy escutcheon from a hanging bowl or bucket, probably of Late Iron Age date, C. 50 BC to 100 AD. The escutcheon body is of globular form with an integral large incomplete loop, presumably to secure a handle. The body of the mount appears slightly domed, and is decorated with a motif consisting of two high raised moulded opposed semicircular arcs, with a slight break in-between the two. Beneath the raised motif is a circular attachment hole, placed off centre and surrounded with iron corrosion. It is possible to suggest this means of attachment is a secondary repair because of the relative carelessness of the work. The rear of the mount at the base is angled (c. 30 degrees from the vertical), suggesting the escutcheon would have been out-splayed at the vessel rim, or more likely, would have incorporated the in-turning upper body of the vessel, ensuring the escutcheon would have been vertical. Above the base, the rear has a wide groove to accommodate the vessel rim. The lower arm of the groove is wide and curved, while the upper arm is short and straight. The rear of the loop is flat, and there are the remnants of a slight step at the base of the loop. The rear of the mount was originally probably soldered onto the vessel. |
