Description: | Romano British mount in the form of a horse's head moulded in the round. At the base of the neck there are sub-triangular lateral flanges and an embedded shank is indicated by a mass of decayed iron. Much surface detail is obscured by adherent ferrous deposits, but the main and other details are picked out by curving grooves. The horse is frequently encountered as a cult object in Roman Britain but the associated deity or deities are not known (Green 1976, 33 and Green 1977, 25). Height (excluding shank) 35mm. Length 40mm. Thickness 22mm.
