Description: | An incomplete Roman stylised copper-alloy cockerel figurine. The birds' head is roughly pinched into a beak shape, but no other features are visible. One side of the body is decorated with ring-and-dot motifs and the tail is decorated with incised parallel lines. The legs and feet are missing and there is a break at the junction of the legs and body. A figurine of Mercury found at King Harry Lane, near Verulamium [St Albans] includes at his feet a ram, a tortiose and a cockerel (Religion in Roman Britain by Henig, p 61, fig 19). | Subjects: | Cockerel | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Moss, Jennifer | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
