Description: | Roman copper alloy statuette fragment, 16mm long, 9mm wide with a weight of 2.6 grams. The fragment is in good condition with a brown/black patina. It is in the form of a hand and has a circular hole through it to hold a staff, scroll etc. The index finger is pointing forward slightly, whilst the rest fold around the hole. The angle of the hand to the wrist suggest that it was raised, holding something at an angle. The statue may have been of Mercury or Jupiter, both of which are depicted carry items in the left hand.
