A cast copper alloy fragment which may be part of a figurine, small bust or decorative figurative fitting, 46.3mm in length. There is a distinct fringe of five projecting leaf forms around the curved lower(?) edge, each with three to five pointed denticulate tips around the margins and with incised details of veins and stalks evident on the surface. These leaves frame a smooth convex area which tapers into a broken projection, which appear to be shoulders and neck from a female(?) portrait bust.

An incomplete cast copper-alloy zoomorphic mount or figurine of probable Roman date (c.AD 43-410). This is a casting of a bull, moulded in fine detail. The broad head is well defined, the nostrils, eyes and ears are all present. The bull has two horns curving forward and over the front of the head, which is lowered. The muscular body is well moulded. There are on the flanks of one side the remains of what may be three patches of enamel, although this is by no means certain. On one eye are the remains of red enamel or possibly the denuded remnants of a red gemstone. None of th…

A probable brooch of copper alloy, cast in the shape of a turtle or tortoise. The brooch is oval in shape with four triangular legs, a triangular tail and a head protruding from it. The head is now folded over but was probably oval in shape. The body is pierced with cast holes of varying sizes, to give the appearance of a shell texture. The body is hollow, the whole having an 'egg shaped' section. There are traces on the upper of some treatment which would have given the turtle a red colouring, although it is not possible to discern the nature of this…

A Roman cast copper alloy figurine of a cockerel. The bird is simply modelled, but corrosion has rendered any original details difficult to see. The head and tail are upraised, the wings depicted folded tightly in. The legs are rendered as a small stepped cylindrical lug with a break to a shaft of a pin or peg on the base.

An incomplete solid cast copper alloy Roman figurine fragment probably depicting the head of a god.
The fragment consists of a forward-facing head wearing a Phrygian cap. The cap is sub conical. At the base-plane of the sub-conical cap, bordering the face of the figure at a roughly 135-degree angle, is a series of shallow, gently curved grooves which represent strands of the figure's hair. When viewing the figure from the front, these modelled strands of hair curve leftwards from the slightly left-of-centre hairline parting down to the left side …

Copper alloy possible statuette fragment. A cast round-section pin, tapered towards its rounded ends and with a circumferential medial groove. The latter is here taken to be a feature permitting this object to be lodged in the hand of a figurine, on the understanding that it represents a thunderbolt. This would be an attribute or identifying object for a statuette representing Jupiter in his militant thunderbolt-hurling mien. The addition of metal weapons to statues of other materials was a commonplace of monumental sculpture; its application to a smaller piece – perhaps modelled…

An Iron Age to Roman copper alloy figurine of a stylised, standing horse, probably dating to 100 BC to AD 100. The head of the horse is quite large in comparison to the body. It now has two stubs for ears, due to old damage. A band between the ears suggests a brow band from a halter is depicted. One of the eyes is just visible but not the other, due to pitting all over most of the surface of the find. The mouth is slightly open. The neck and back are long. There is the suggestion of the band under the chest, between the front legs. There is a band un…

Copper alloy figurine. Cast naturalistically modelled seated figure, possibly representing a child and if so, perhaps at c.54mm scale. The figure is seated upright with arms alongside the body and bent at the elbows, the figure’s right arm is now further from the body than the left.
At first sight the figure appears naked; however, the genitalia and rump have escaped portrayal if this is the case, and there is the suspicion of short tunic sleeves in the area of the upper arms. The eye of faith might also discern the neckline of a tunic below the face. The short legs are lightly…
