Description: | A cast copper alloy unidentified object.
The object is only a fragment of a larger item and could be part of mount, knife handle or other decorative fitting. The object is shaped like a rabbit/hare which is running, with its front and back legs outstretched. There is a hole in the centre of the object.
The item has been broken at multiple points, including the ears, nose and both sets of legs of the animal, if that is in fact what is it. All of the breaks are worn.
The metal is undecorated, pitted and is a mid brownish-green colour.
It is possiblly Roman, but more likely to be post-medieval in date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
