This object comprises a three-dimensional head and neck of a female then just below the neck the object is conical with a hollow socket in the end. This open end is a rough, broken surface that is covered by the same mid/dark green patina that covers the rest of the surface. There is a slight rounded projection on the back just below the neck. The top of the head is worn and it is unclear whether there would have been an integral suspension loop or similar. The face of the figurine is worn with no clear depiction of facial features. Similar Roman weights are published on the PAS database please see IOW-5B9644, LEIC-BCD446 and BUC-BEC621 however there is no exact parallel.Dimensions: length: 47.53mm; width: 20.46mm; thickness: 18.17mm; external diameter of socket: 11.93mm; internal diameter of socket: 5.63mm; weight: 63.22g.
