Description: | A fragment of a cast copper-alloy Roman vessel, probably a skillet handle terminal, it appears to be in the form of a side profile lion. The fragment is curvilinear with a transverse moulding a short neck and then a curving mane, with diagonal grooves across it, at the upper edge of the mane there is a rounded three dimensional ear, the top of the head is straight and there is a prominent brow ridge above an oval shaped moulded eye. The neck and head have small moulded lines indicating fur or hair. The back face is concave and rough to the touch. This fragment is similar in style to other skillet temrinals, although these depict human heads or other animals, such as dogs (Toynee 1962, fig 125-127). This fragment measures 36.77mm in surviving length, 27.28mm in width. | Subjects: | skillet | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
