Description: | Small copper-alloy face modelled in relief and with a hollow reverse. Basically lozengiform in outline, it has two rows of multi-strand curls forming the hair, with a large high-relief central curl. The eyes are made up of two curved relief lines and are deeply set under the brows. The nose, mouth and chin are small and the cheeks are rounded. The object tapers to the edges and it is very hard to tell which, if any, of the edges are complete. There is no neck. There is no obvious means of attachment. It is very hard to tell the date of this cherub-like face. Its classical feel means that it must be either Roman or modern (18th to 20th century); it is quite chubby and cute-looking, which suggests modern, but the treatment of the eyes and hair is unusual and perhaps suggests a Roman date instead.
