Description: | Bronze knife handle in form of three-dimensional human head with bird (eagle?) perched on top feeding from or pecking the forehead. Iron corrosion where blade was attached.
This terminal is similar to others from Nettleham, Lincolnshire (LIN-71ECB3 ), Kirmington, North Lincolnshire (Leahy, 1986: 388-91), and to a less-similar example from Wickenby, Lincolnshire recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database as NLM-5FBEB7. These artefacts can be associated with two Mars sceptre heads recovered from the tomb of a Roman priest at Brough on Humber, East Yorkshire (Corder & Richmond 1938: 68-74). | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 43
