Description: | Romano-British Handle of razor or other iron tool in the form of a curving animal which bears some resemblance to a seahorse or horse. From the head, with two blind drilled holes for eyes and two more in the end of its long, flaring and upturned snout, the round section body curls forward, thickens and then turns back on itself, narrowing then thickening once more before tapering to a pointed tail at the back of the head. The rear face of the tail is covered wit iron, which appears to be set into the surface of the metal. No parallel has been noted, but the curving form is reminiscent of Dragonesque brooches and the ??Celtic?? S-curve. 29 x 20mm. Maximum width 7.5mm. The length or width of the iron blade may be c.25mm. | 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 |
