ID for artifact with lion face
« on: December 23, 2022, 01:38:38 pm »
Ave!

Copper alloy; 50mm/15.8gm - one end broken

Odd looking, isn't it? Pretty sure it's lion as it has a mane. As seen in the last photo there is a small rectangular cut out
below the muzzle.

Could be Roman, but perhaps much older? May this have been a brooch or something completely different?

HELP!

Ave Molinari,

Thank you!  :)

You mean like this?

Doubtful, too small...and remember the hole above the head.

Some sort of Celtic thingy?

No I meant you have the handle but the ladle itself is missing.
