Description: | A Roman copper-alloy mount. A stud in the shape of a lion's head, which, it has been suggested (see ref.), would have been used to decorate a burial casket. The piece is conical and measures 23.8mm in diameter. The display side extends upwards in four steps. The lowest two steps have indented lines which represent the mane, the next step up contains the eyes, and the top step has the nose. The reverse is hollow and has a corroded iron attachment at its centre. It measures 14.1mm high and weighs 11.55g. | 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
