| Title |
Iron Age bull-headed vessel mount |
||
| Description |
English: An incomplete Late Iron Age to Early Roman cast copper-alloy zoomorphic bucket handle escucheon in the form of a bovine head, probably a bull (c. 100 BC - c. AD 100). The object is broadly triangular in shape, with a large circular loop on its upper edge. The object is broken at each corner, missing the bull's snout and the attachment holes that would have been used to secure it to the vessel. The front has a raised triangular area that forms the bull's forehead. The brow and eyes of the bull are visible as raised lines near the break. At the top left and right cornsers of the head, project the stumps of a pair of horns. The reverse is concave.
Overall, the object measures 43.6mm long, 30.0mm wide and 10.9mm thick. It weighs 18.3g. Internal diameter of loop 7.1mm, overall width of loop 14.8mm. A similar bucket escutcheon or mount was found at Shepton Mallet, Somerset (Painter 1963) and Iron Age parallels are noted from Ham Hill in Somerset and Dinorben in Clwyd (Megaw and Megaw, 1989, p.223). Also see Watson (1949).
