Description: | A fragment of a lead boar figurine of Roman date. The fragment consists of the front part of the head of the animal. It measures 39.5mm long by 22.3mm wide and is hollow. The animal has a narrow snout of sub-circular section which is squared off at the end. The width increases at the face and there is a small eye visible on each side. On the left hand side of the animal (looking at it straight on) is a crest with roughly depicted hair. The surface of the rest of the animal is also rough in order to give the impression of hair. There is no evidence of a casting join. The object is badly worn and corroded. It weighs 22.94g. | 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
