Description: | A badly corroded figurine, the body is formed by a simple sub-rectangular shape hollow at the reverse and rounded at the 'shoulder' end where it joins the neck and head which is a solid globular shape. Both head and body were cast as one piece. The front of the body shows evidence of decoration in the form of full length 'robes' which appear to have been laid on over the cast figure in vertical strips using several different alloys decorated with red and blue champleve enamel, there are further traces of enamel in the eyes. There are two attachment holes on the centre line of the body, one at 'chest' level and the other near the bottom when holding the figurine head upwards, this hole has split. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
