These can be a bit difficult as the Romans and Saxons both produced them (and those periods of course overlap).  However, since there is no clear indication of use, most books simply call these 'mounts'.  They may have been incorporated into clothing, furniture, horse trappings, etc.  We cant really know.  But, it is a very nice example.

Ave Vadim,

If you can tell us where this found it would help us out for the era and attribution.

Thanks,

Kevin

Hello Ken, Hello Kevin,

Thank you very much for your help. As I know it was found near Terespol region, Poland. Thanks.

Kind regards,

Vadim
