Description: | A copper alloy snake figurine, of probable postmedieval date. The snake is flattened in the horizontal plane, and thus cannot have been suffered signifiantly from post-depositional deformation. Its body is simple and cylindrical, with sinuous curves, and it head is equally rudimentarily rendered, with an unadorned, gaping mouth, and two copper alloy studs for eyes.
A postmedieval date seems likely, but no close parallels could be found. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Ashby, Steven - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
