Description: | Incomplete Late Post Medieval cast copper alloy head (or mask), from an unidentified object, possibly a child??s toy. The corroded and broken head is that of a child, the ears and back part of which are missing although it retains a fragment of the neck. The face has traces of engraved C-shapes to indicate curls on the forehead, and large cast eyes, upturned snub nose and mouth. There are traces of black paint around the eyes and mouth and on the neck, and fragment of red paint on the eyes and mouth. The break on the reverse is rather granular and striated. >23 x >37mm. Probably 19th century, the surface condition with traces of paint show that this is unlikely to be Roman. Scanned image seen by Professor Martin Henig who regards it as ??clearly not Roman??. Weighs 32.21g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bales, Ellen - Norfolk Museums and Archaeology Service | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
