Description: | A cast lead alloy animal figurine. The figurine probably represents a dog, but it could be a bear.
The dog is a male which once would have been mounting the female. The female is no longer present. The basic details of the face and tail can be seen but the legs have been crudely made.
The metal is a mid silvery-grey colour and it is possibly made out of a lead alloy or pewter. It had been suggested that the figurine was Roman, but Sally Worrell (PAS National Finds Advisor) stated that Roman dog figurines are not common and the style of this figurine is far more realistic, rather than stylised, as you'd expect if it were Roman. It is therefore likely to be post-medieval in date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
