Description: | Romano-British Handle, probably from ladle or strainer, in the form of a stylised duck's neck and head with engraved eyes. The neck springs from a fragment with curving inner edge. The curvature suggests that the beak must have pointed directly upwards or downwards. Length of neck and head 40mm. Cf. Tassinari 1975, pl. IX 36a and b, pl X 41-3 and pl. XI 46, and a more naturalistic duck from Brough-under-Stainmore (Green 1978, 48, plate 73).
