Description: | A probable Roman knife handle in the form of a female figure, perhaps Venus. One side of the slot or socket for the knife tang is extant. The figure, the base of which is at about the level of the knee, wears a skirt decorated with horizontal grooves. A sash-like feature, delineated by grooves, runs across the chest from the left shoulder. The right hand is placed on top of the hair and the left arm is raised, with the hand bent backwards as if something is to be thrown. There are concavities (casting flaws) on the back of the neck/left shoulder, and in the small of the back. Length >70mm. Width 37mm. Weight 71g.
