Description: | A lead mount of uncertain date and function. The style of object
suggests that it is a religious piece, although the period is unceratin. A wide date range of Roman to post-medieval is therefore given. The object has been cast from a sheet of lead and is heavily corroded. It depicts a face which has deeply-set eyes and a prominent nose and hair curls. There is only a slight trace of a mouth. A break at the bottom of the head suggests that it was once part of a larger object. A projecting point on the right hand side of the face (as you look at it) may be a damaged point of attachment. The reverse is plain. It measures 58.2mm wide by 57.7mm high and 3.2mm thick. The weight is 77.61g. | 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
