Description: | RB Ae mount from vessel, cast in form of head of a goat, finely modelled with sweeping horns (the tip of one of which is broken), below the horns on the reverse is a concave moulding with a yellow/brown deposit adhering to it, probably solder, 30 (horns reconstructed) x 55mm. The ram and the goat are cult emblems of Mercury and either can be shown accompanying the god. the goat may also have had an additional connection with fertility (Green 1976, 34, 1978, 26). Models of goats are known from a collection of votive material from a probable temple site associated with Mercury at Great Walsingham (Bagnall Smith 1999). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
