Description: | A copper-alloy incomplete neck and head of, possibly, a swan, 32mm in length and 9mm in diameter. The head and neck are circular in cross-section, the neck curves in a C-shape down below the head. The head is slightly wider than the neck, and an oval-shaped eye can be seen, the beak is long, flat and almost oval-shaped in cross-section, there are two parallel grooves along the edge of the beak. The neck is incomplete due to an old break and the tip of the beak is also missing. This swan? is most likely to have been one terminal of a copper-alloy vessel handle and to be Roman in date, although no parallel could be found. | Subjects: | Swan head handle terminal? | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
