Description: | a copper alloy Roman or later animal figurine or terminal. It is a three-dimensional figure of the head, shoulders and fore-limbs of an animal, most likely a horse. The head is narrow and rectangular, with no detail of the mouth or nose, and stylised eyes. The two ears are small and pointed and lie back against the head. There is a narrow crest or mane running from between the ears and down the shoulders of the animal.Beyond this the object terminates in a short rectangular bar, 5mm in length and 4,8mm wide, with two narrow extentions (resembling an open paper-clip)which would allow for attachment. The fore-limbs are truncated and finish in two short points at the 'knee' joint The space between them , 2mm, would also allow for attachment. The figurine measures 19.37mm in length (nose to terminal) and 17mm in width (from fore-limb terminal to crest).
