Description: | A copper-alloy unidentified object. The artefact has been cast and appears to have some sort of iron rivet running through the copper alloy plate. The iron staining has spread half way up the artefact. The artefact appears to represent a humanoid head and so the head forms part of the shape of the artefact. The ?neck? is long and almost oval in shape. It extends down form the head. No-body is evident. The detail of the face has been engraved into both surfaces of the flat plate. The two ?faces? are slightly different. The artefact appears to be completed, but it is unclear what would have been attached to it via the rivet. The artefact is worn and has a light greyish-green patina. It could have been part of a child?s toy. | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
