Description: | A cast copper alloy mount which could be Roman or Medieval in date.
The mount is formed from a pressed copper alloy plate, shaped to form a man??s face. The mount is concave on the reverse. The man??s hair is raised on the top of his head and has been decorated with incised lines. Small roundels of hair can also be seen on the sides of his head ?? perhaps indicating a more medieval date. The eye brows and foreheads are raised on the same plan as the nose. The mouth is evident but not altogether clear. The chin is rounded. There is a copper alloy rivet through the man??s forehead.
The metal is a mid greyish-green colour. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Booth, Anna | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
