Description: | A cast copper-alloy fragment of a probable applique or vessel mount. The fragment is roughly rectangular in shape, measuring 31mm by 21mm in size. The front face is convex and the back face is hollow. The front face depicts the lower face and chin of a male, it has part of a moulded beard on its chin, with curls depicted. Above the chin most of a moulded mouth can be seen, with the lips slightly downturned. Above the upper lip faint moulding indicates the presence of a moustace. The rest of this object is missing due to old breaks. At the base of the chin the face appears to have a true, rather than broken edge, this would imply that this fragment is a vessel applique of some kind, rather than a full figurine. It is most likely to be Roman in date.
