Description: | A cast copper alloy projecting hollow-backed fitting in the form of a lion's head, of Roman date. The head has an open voided mouth. Below the chin is a rounded breast with four tiny ring and dot stamps. The face of the lion features drilled pits for the eyes and nostrils and engraved hair below the lower lip and chin. The head projects sharply forward from a rounded inegral plate. At the back, at the base of the hollow, is a short ledge which projects backwards.
