Description: | The weight is shaped as a female bust. Her hair appears to be plaited/twisted and piled on top of hear head. At the apex of head there is a flat semi-circular protrusion with a small central circular hole. The facial features of the female are worn, thereby are slightly distorted. The bust reveals traces of drapery. The reverse of the bust is slightly convex, the reverse of the shoulders are obliquely angled and are slightly concave. The reverse of the head is decorated with horizontal grooves representing the hair style. Approximately 20% of the weight is covered with a dark green patina, otherwise the surface is corroded. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
