from Newstead, Roxburghshire
Add to albumThis pair of large, bronze mounts was found at the site of the Roman fort at Newstead in Roxburghshire. They are from a large wooden vessel, designed to hold a loop handle. They date from between 80 and 180 AD.
The large mounts have fishtail-shaped ends, each of which is pierced. One is damaged at the tip.
The Roman army garrisoned at Newstead required the services of smiths, woodworkers and other craft specialists. A large range of objects were made, some for everyday use and some more ornate. Other items were imported.
