Description: | A cast copper alloy figurine, probably of Cupid, probably dating from the Roman period 43-410 AD. It is male and has a chubby rounded face with round eyes, but most of the features are worn. He seems to have shoulder length hair and possible wings project from his shoulders. These are broken, just leaving stubs. The breaks are worn and patinated. The right arm and left arms appear to be extended to the side. The torso is covered by a short piece of drapery hanging from the right shoulder. It is not long enough to cover his genetalia. The buttocks are moulded, as are the legs. The right one is straight and broken at the knee. The left is slightly further forwards and might have been modelled bent. The figurine may have been attached to a shrine. Roman bronze cherubim. The length is 45mm, width is 25mm, thickness 15mm and the weight 27.36g.
