A copper alloy vessel mount in the form of a helmeted figure of the goddess Minerva dating to the Roman period (100-400 AD). The figure is heavily worn and corroded and much of the detail is lost. The lower part of the handle is also lost, hence there is some debate as to whether this is a knife handle or spatula. The break is heavily worn and in the same condition as the rest of the mount- this would suggest that the break is old. The terminal is irregular in both shape and also section. The figure consists of a face with pronounced nose deep set eyes and hair combed on either side …
