Title |
A cast copper alloy probable furntiure mount, dating to the Roman period. |
||
Description |
English: A cast copper alloy probable furniture mount (length: 31.5mm; width at shoulders: 30mm; thickness at shoulders: 1mm; weight: 14.18g). The mount is in the form of a bust of a male. The head has clear facial features, with rather sunken eyes, a snubbed nose, rounded ears, a mouth which is slightly open and a beard in the form of deep ringlets. The shoulders are flat. At the back of the mount there is a slot/ bar which protrudes by 7mm out from the back of the head as a possible attachment fitting which helps to secure the mount to a larger object. The mount is hollow but there is what appears to be metallic corrosion (possibly copper alloy) inside the back of the head. Overall, this object is in a fair condition but there are specific areas of corrosion at the top of the head, the front of the face and towards the back. The mount has a dark green-black patina. A similar example was found near Lakenheath, Suffolk and is illustrated in Nigel Mill's book 'Celtic & Roman Artefacts', 2000, page 128, Ref no 399. This example is possibly from a belt mount and depicts Silenus, the foster-father of Bacchus and leader of satyrs. He is usually shown as bald-beaded with a snub-nose, pointed ears and a moustache and beard, giving him an Oriental appearance. |
