Description: | A small copper alloy figurine of a ram. The surface of the figurine is smooth with moulded detail for horns, ears, and genitalia. Its head is a simple conical shape with two indentations for eyes and a groove to represent the mouth. The hooves of the ram have been picked out with a groove on the underside of the ram's feet. The front right leg of the ram is slightly bent and is positioned slightly forwards of the front left leg, suggesting movement. This figurine is Roman in date. The ram is a beast of Mercury, the patron of merchants, flocks and herds. The figurine measures 46.92mm in length, a maximum of 12mm in width, 34.11mm in height and weighs 45g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
