Description: | Copper alloyProbable Metalworking Debris. Cast fragment of copper alloy melt with runnels. This may represent the ingate of a casting. Alternatively, this may be a part-melted fragment of a small Classical statuette of a nude and bearded torso; the eye of faith might discern the head, right arm and chest of either Zeus/Jupiter hurling a thunderbolt or Poseidon/Neptune with his trident. At all events, the partial melting and extensive loss would be aptly accommodated by its identification as debris from metalworking. Suggested date: Unknown, 40-1800. Height: 23.3mm, Width: 23.1mm, Thickness: 8.0mm, Weight: 7.13gms.
