Copper-alloy mount, of a drinking horn or cup?
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Bronze mount of drinking horn or cup, diam 7.5cm - 8cm. Consists of strip of sheet bronze, depth 4.3cm, die-stamped with recurrent blocks of figural ornament - identical, or nearly, but overstamped at end to finish pattern in time to make overlapping joint. Repeated 7 times - a scene of central figure seated on chair, haloed, wearing long robe to feet, right hand raised in blessing(?); on either side, standing figures wearing robes to just above ankle, arms folded on breast, both quarter turned towards seated figure. Above left-hand one arm equal-armed cross, above the other a bird with a wreath. Upper and lower border and divisions and chair arms or legs pearled. Very crudely done, with single stamp often used crookedly and occasionally overstamping next panel. Occasionally they impinge on lower border of continuous vine-scroll pattern.Certainly an early Xian piece, possibly Christ between apostles. Whatever its original purpose, the mount has clearly been re-used, possibly on a drinking horn as mounted now. A rough plain bronze strip (rim?) mount has been riveted on to lower edge over vine-scrolls, and on one side, a square-sectioned, pierced lug rivetted to take a loose ring-butt jointed, square-sectioned. The overlap also riveted.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
