Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy decorative fitting most probably of modern date. The object is cast in the form a fish with an upturned tail, large lips, a head fin and two fins either side of the main body. The eyes can also be seen as cast decoration. The tail is broken and the break is worn. The presence of the remains of an iron rivet on the underside of the object would suggest it is an 18th or 19th century neo-classical replica of a Roman style, most probably used as a decorative ornament attached to garden furniture or similar. The metal is pitted and corroded. The object is 60.3mm in length, 33.8mm wide, 22.1mm thick and weighs 79g.
