Roman bust applique

(1/1)

Tom Mullally:
Hello!

I recently purchased this applique and am hoping someone can help identify it further. It appears to be a Roman emperor/empress but would like some confirmation.

Here is the seller's description:

"Bronze. 1ST century AD. Size 50 mm X 37mm (2" X 1 3/8").Have been told it is a depiction of a Roman Emperor and another says it is a woodland figure of a deity and others say its Celtic. It clearly shows a draped bust of a male or female with curly locks of hair protruding from veil which is clearly visable on head. The left sghoulder is bound on a knot with what appears to be adraping feathers or a wreath."

Thanks for the help, and sorry for the cross posting,

Tom

Joe Sermarini:
I don't think it is an emperor or empress.  And more likely something Celtic or tribal, rather than Roman.

Looks like "Chubaka" ...  ;D
