Description: | A cast copper alloy figurine, in the shape of a bird. The figurine appears to have broken off from a much larger object as it has a flat, corroded base. It is possibly that this bird was positioned on the end of something like a shaft as a decorative terminal. The bird has its wings out stretched. The metal is extremely corroded and pitted, and is a mid reddish-brown colour.It does not appear to be Roman in date ad does not comfortable fit into the medieval or post-medieval periods, so therefore it remains undated.
