A copper alloy amulet, probably depicting a Sphinx (normally having the head of a woman, the body of a lion and the wings of a bird). The head is slightly turned to the her right; the hair is indistinct, either in short curls or in thick braids. The wings are corroded and incomplete but appear to be thick, flat and simplified. The neck swells out into the a woman's chest with breasts clearly shown. Just below the breasts is a thick moulded ridge across the body, with a narrower ridge above and below. This triple line separates the chest from a single lion's paw foot, with four well-modelled toes each with two joints separated by transverse grooves. The foot sits on a low sub-circular base.<\/p>
There is a loop on the back of the figure, in the small of the back, with a bar projecting back and up at a 45 degree angle above it. The loop is for suspension and explains the term amulet: 'An amulet was any object - a stone, a plant, an artificial production, or a piece of writing - which was suspended from the neck, or tied to any part of the body, for the purpose of counteracting poison, curing or preventing disease, warding off the evil eye, aiding women in childbirth, or obviating calamities and securing advantages of any kind.'http:\/\/penelope.uchicago.edu\/Thayer\/E\/Roman\/Texts\/secondary\/SMIGRA*\/Amuletum.html<\/a> The amulet has a dark green patina. The object has a length of 46.48mm, width 16.64mm, thickness 7.82mm and a weight of 47.33g. It dates from the Roman period.<\/p>", "notes":null, "reuse":null, "reusePeriodID":null, "created":"2009-11-04 12:35:56", "updated":"2016-12-20 11:53:35", "secwfstage":"3", "findofnote":"1", "objecttypecert":"1", "datefound1":"2009-08-06", "datefound2":null, "inscription":null, "museumAccession":null, "subsequentAction":null, "objectCertainty":"Certain", "dateFromCertainty":"1", "dateToCertainty":"1", "dateFoundFromCertainty":"3", "dateFoundToCertainty":null, "subPeriodFrom":null, "subPeriodTo":null, "objdate1period":"21", "objdate2period":"21", "secuid":"0014AF1752C01A11", "material1":"7", "material2":null, "manmethod":null, "decmethod":null, "decstyle":null, "complete":"4", "surface":null, "manufactureID":null, "culture":null, "smrRef":null, "hoardcontainer":null, "institution":"SWYOR", "reason":null, "primaryMaterial":"Copper alloy", "primaryBMmaterial":"10627", "secondaryMaterial":null, "secondaryBMmaterial":null, "decoration":null, "style":null, "manufacture":null, "surfaceTreatment":null, "completeness":"Complete", "preservation":null, "periodFrom":"ROMAN", "seneschalPeriodFrom":"RO", "bmPeriodFrom":"x41218", "periodoPeriodFrom":"p0gjgrs69ws", "periodTo":"ROMAN", "seneschalPeriodTo":"RO", "bmPeriodTo":"x41218", "periodoPeriodTo":"p0gjgrs69ws", "reusePeriod":null, "ascribedCulture":null, "culturePeriodo":null, "cultureBM":null, "discmethod":"Metal detector", "fromCirca":"Circa", "toCirca":"Circa", "findSpotID":"274390", "countyID":"8127", "parishID":"8204", "districtID":"8122", "regionID":"41423", "fourFigure":"SK6791", "map25k":"SK6791", "map10k":"SK69SE", "knownas":null, "fourFigureLat":"53.411567", "fourFigureLon":"-0.993514", "woeid":null, "gridlen":"6", "geonamesID":null, "accuracy":"100", "what3words":null, "source":"From a paper map", "coinID":null, "obverseDescription":null, "obverseInscription":null, "reverseDescription":null, "reverseInscription":null, "cciNumber":null, "denominationID":null, "degreeOfWear":null, "allenType":null, "vaType":null, "mackType":null, "abcType":null, "bmcType":null, "reeceID":null, "dieAxis":null, "moneyer":null, "revtypeID":null, "categoryID":null, "typeID":null, "tribeID":null, "statusID":null, "rulerQualifier":null, "denominationQualifier":null, "mintQualifier":null, "dieAxisCertainty":null, "initialMark":null, "reverseMintMark":null, "statusQualifier":null, "ruler1":null, "ruler2":null, "mintID":null, "rrcID":null, "ricID":null, "tribe":null, "ironAgeRegion":null, "ironAgeArea":null, "denomination":null, "nomismaDenomination":null, "dbpediaDenomination":null, "bmDenomination":null, "primaryRuler":null, "viaf":null, "rulerDbpedia":null, "nomismaRulerID":null, "secondaryRuler":null, "periodName":null, "dateRange":null, "mintName":null, "nomismaMintID":null, "pleiadesID":null, "mintGeonamesID":null, "mintWoeid":null, "mintOsID":null, "mintGettyID":null, "mintWoeID":null, "mintDbPediaID":null, "mintWhat3Words":null, "mintBritMuseumID":null, "wear":null, "nomismaWear":null, "dieAxisName":null, "category":null, "type":null, "moneyerID":null, "nomismaMoneyer":null, "emperorID":null, "romanMintID":null, "reverseType":null, "status":null, "jettonClass":null, "jettonType":null, "jettonGroup":null, "thumbnail":"https:\/\/finds.org.uk\/images\/thumbnails\/227444.jpg", "filename":"PAS_716_nike.jpg", "filesize":"1612477", "imageLabel":"Roman amulet", "imageCopyrightHolder":"West Yorkshire Archaeology Service", "imageLicense":"5", "imagedir":"images\/acooper\/", "region":"East Midlands", "rallyID":null, "rallyName":null, "rallyDateFrom":null, "rallyDateTo":null, "landuse":null, "landvalue":"Cultivated land", "regionType":"European Region", "countyType":"County", "county":"Nottinghamshire", "districtType":"District", "district":"Bassetlaw", "parishType":"Civil Parish", "centreLat":"53.421", "centreLon":"-0.955671", "parish":"Everton", "subsequentActionTerm":null, "bmThesObject":null, "seneschalObject":"95896", "url":"https:\/\/finds.org.uk\/database\/artefacts\/record\/id\/275132" }, "id":"275132" } ] }
