Object type: CART FITTING
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
A cast copper alloy terminal in the form of an eagle's head, probably a cart fitting of Roman date. It is hollow and would presumably have once been attached to the cart by means of a now missing iron tang. At the base of the terminal is a raised collar with moulded double circumferential band and an uneven wavy bottom edge that is perhaps deliberately shaped or simply resultant from post-depositional damage. Above the collar the eagle's head emerges from two moulded leaves or petals that project upwards and outwards to either side of the head. The head of the eagle has both moulded an…
