Description: | A copper alloy anthropomorphic mount possibly dating to the Roman period.The object is oval in plan and domed with the patina on the front worn away in places. This differential wear of patina is suggestive of a human face although it is not very clear. There are some short parallel lines on the top of the head which could be suggestive of hair. There are similar examples recorded on the PAS database including SWYOR-858077 which has been listed as Roman however there are examples known from the medieval period.
