Description: | A cast copper-alloy figurine fragment of Roman date. The piece represents the head of a hollow-cast figurine, possibly of a warrior. A similar, but more complete parallel, can be seen on the PAS database - see ESS-336AA1.
The three-dimensional head has suffered badly from corrosion. The most noticeable feature is a helmet or headdress with a transverse crest at the front. The nose is visible, as are the eye sockets, but the mouth is not clear. No casting marks are visible.
The piece measures 23.3mm high, 17.1mm wide and 17mm deep. The weight is 8.68g. | 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
