Description: | A cast lead alloy figurine head.
The head is hollow and survives in two pieces, but it is incomplete. The breaks are worn and the metal is heavily corroded. The head resembles earlier Roman or Classical designs, but is likely to be post-medieval in date, probably 17th ?? 18th Century.
The head is that of a young woman, with very delicate features. She has her hair tied back and is wearing a laureate wreath.
The large fragment measures 52mm x 39.34mm x 2.85mm. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
