Description: | Copper alloy Figurine. Solid cast model of a ram, probably a detached attribute from a static Mercury group. The animal stands with head erect. The modelling appears relatively crude and the body is somewhat stocky, though proportionately rendered. The coiling of the horns is exaggerated so that, although springing backwards, their ends point forward; the tail is either merely suggested or portrayed as docked. Corrosion and iron staining obscure surface detail, though it seems unlikely this was carefully modelled. The front feet and rear lower legs and feet are lost, though the ram stands unaided on what remains. Suggested date: Roman, 40-400.Length: 38.2mm, Height: 29mm, Thickness (at rear haunch): 14.9mm, Weight: 28.72gms.
