Description: | A cast copper alloy mount, probably from a vessel Romano-British. The mount is in the form of a human adult head, though it is difficult to tell whether this is male or female. The head is oval in plan, Plano-convex and shown semi-naturalistically. The face depicts a chubby, perhaps young deity with long curly hair flowing down to just below the ears. The features appear to have been cast rather than incised.The face is presumably a Romano-British attempt at representing a deity such as Bacchus or a cherub.
