Description: | Roman copper alloy bird head mount, 40mm long, 35mm wide and 15mm to 19mm thick. The object is in poor condition with a green patina and weighs 26.61 grams. The object has much of its surface missing and is damaged around its base. It is sub rectangular in form and section and is hollow. It forms a birds head with a rounded, hooked beak. It has a rounded head with an incised oval eye on each side and faint traces of further incised lines which may represent feathers. It has an incised line running around its neck which may be showing a collar and the object ends with a raised band running around its base. The object is thought to be a chariot or cart fitting and would have been used to tie up the reigns. | 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: | 1
