Description: | Cast copper alloy stag's head. The hollow sub-rectangular head is 20mm long, 13mm wide at the top tapering to 10mm at the base. The base is 10mm wide with a circular hollow 8mm across. The hollow has concentric rings inside, possibly a thread to attach the head to a shaft. The antlers are comprised of two symetrical 'S' shaped projections, attached at the top two corners of the head. There is no visible decoration on the object which has a green patina with areas of the original copper colour showing through. The head is 38mm long in total, and at the widest point (the antlers) is 33mm. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McLean, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
