Description: | A cast copper-alloy mount in the form of a human face of probable Roman date. The convex mount has a moulded upper surface. The eyebrow ridges are prominent, as is the nose which is pointed. The eyes are formed of pellets and the mouth of a ridge. The chin, cheeks and hair are also moulded. There is an integral stud at the base on the lower surface. The object has corroded to a red-brown colour, with darker accretions on the lower surface. The metal might suggest a classical (post-medieval) date, and while a later date cannot be ruled out completely a Roman date is favoured.
