Description: | Complete cast copper alloy mount or handle in the form of a small male bust, possibly a fittings for furniture or other wooden object. Probably Late Iron Age or Early Roman (100 BC - AD 100). Length 45.5mm, maximum width 19.5mm and maximum thickness 18mm. Weight 34.39g. The forward facing bust has an oval face with a rounded chin but the facial features are indistinct. The hair style is indicated by a series of small indentations representing a fringe at the front and seven grooves over the remaining part of the head suggest that the hair is swept back. The neck slopes gently outwards to form the shoulders. The base of the bust is sub-oval in plan and has a central integral spike which is 10mm in length and sub-circular in cross-section. Its maximum diameter is about 5mm and it tapers to a blunt point. Small patches of a mid-green patina survive overall. | 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: | -100
