Title
Early Medieval to Medieval open work mount
Description
English: Copper alloy openwork object probably part of a Roman copper-alloy lock-bolt dating 70 to 410 AD.

The bolt comprises an incomplete openwork panel and a projecting arm. The panel is sub-rectangular, with a number of triangular-sectioned apertures extending horizontally through it. The upper and lower surfaces are flat and the sides are straight. It is sub rectangular in plan and L shape in profile. The lip of the L is on the inner face which is otherwise plain. The outer face has a linear decoration running down its longer sides between the outher edge and the triangular perforations. This face also appears to have been decorated with a network of dots.

Similar lock-bolts were found in excavations in Colchester (see Crummy 1983: 124, nos. 4133 - 4136). While there are co exact parallels on the PAS database, recorded Roman locks include BH-D2F634and BH-F81B80 and BH-1CA656. The closest records in terms of thickness are NLM-AB90E2, LIN-700BA6 and ESS-0F5116 is similar in plan.

Length 39mm, width 14mm, thickness 3mm, and weight 7.31g.
