Metal Detector Find
NN 72 23 A Roman copper-alloy vessel mount was found by metal-detecting near Kindrochet. It consists of a heavily worn, damaged anthropomorphic escutcheon from a basin (Eggers types E79–87) with remains of a hooked fastening to take a suspension ring. The rather stylised head, a squashed sphere in form, is probably male, its facial features very worn. Extensive solder deposits survive on the rear. H 44mm, W 31mm, T 16.5mm.
Claimed as Treasure Trove (TT 245/19) and allocated to Perth Museum and Art Gallery
