Description: | The object is the head and neck of a ?man. The head is oval in plan and domed in profile. The facial features appear to be small in comparison to the size of the head. Also there are ?worn and difficult to distinguish. The noes is a high relief triangular shape and divides at the top which forms to arches for eybrows. At the top of the head there is a row off linear grooves for hair. The neck protrudes off-set from the chin, and also also slightly off-set on the reverse. The neck is sub semi-circular in cross-section. Its terminal has been quite recently. In the centre of the break is a curviture suggesting there was originally a rivet hole here. The reverse of the head is flat and off-centre is a conical shaped cell which is 5.6mm deep. The patina is a dark grey/green colour and well developed. | 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: | 1066
