Description: | Roman copper alloy figurative mount, 29mm high, 27mm wide and 14mm thick. The object is in good condition and weighs 23.91grams. The object consists of a human bust with a simplistic round head with almond eyes and a simple sub rectangular nose and mouth. It has radiating incised lines to illustrate hair and recesses for ears. Its chin has a series of parallel incised lines around it to demonstrate a beard and possibly the same above the lip for a moustache? It has a thick round and long neck and is wearing a tunic illustrated by parallel ridges. These meet in the centre forming a chevron pattern, which is repeated on the back. The shoulders are represented by sub spherical teminals. The underside is sub rectangular and is concave, suggesting that the object was attached to something.
