Eagle
A limestone sculpture of an Eagle, (representing Jupiter) clutching a Snake in its beak (representing Death). Was found in September 2013 during building work in the Minories area of the City of London. It was made in what is now the Cotswolds area of England around 1900 years ago and would have sat in an alcove of a tomb, just outside the city boundary of Londinium. I was lucky to see this back in November 2013 as it is now no longer on display.

You were very lucky. It is a superb example. Do you know where it is now?

Hello *Alex. No idea where, likely with the "Arc of the Covenant in Area 51" Wink
