Description: | A cast copper alloy fragment, of possibly a claps or a mount (probably from a book). The object probably dates to the 16 - 17th Centuries, but a slightly earlier date cannot be ruled out.
The object has been cast in one plane, although it is impossible to see exactly where the object has been broken, due to the heavy degree of wear of the main body of the figurine and also on the arms, which only survive as worn stumps. The objects consists of a mans head and torso, with the arms truncated. The back shows no sign of having had any attachment bar or fitting. The mans face has raised eyebrows and nose, with a groove for the mouth.
The metal is a dark greenish-brown colour and is slightly pitted.
A similar object (made of silver) was reported as Treasure and has been recorded onto the PAS database record number: SUSS-0A1821. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | WALKER, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
