An incomplete copper-alloy zoomorphic figurine, probably of Roman date, c.AD 43-410. It depicts a crouched hare in a relaxed pose with the front legs stretched forward. The details of the back leg, the tail and the head are still visible; the long ears are extended rearwards. The base of the figurine respects the animal details but it bears a circular cross-sectioned broken protrusion, which might have been the upper part of a shaft.
