Description: | Copper alloy figurine of Mars (?). Missing lower right leg and entire left leg, left arm, right hand; very worn. The head has an elaborate helmet crest and grooves representing helmet and/or hair; the face is very worn but traces survive of slanting oval eye lines and a straight mouth line. There is very little detail on the rest of the body which is not clothed except that the damaged hand of the raised right arm is enlarged presumably to hold an object (most likely a spear for the god Mars). The piece depicts a warrior god, most likely related to the classical god Mars. Surviving height 48mm. | Subjects: | Mars | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Plouviez, Judith | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
