Record ID: SUR-F7E8C4
Object type: FIGURINE
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Figurine of a bird, possibly an eagle, looking down with an object in its beak and its wings outstretched. The bird stands on a horizontal perch below which projects a vertical shaft. The bird has crudely modelled eyes and lattice slashes on the wings, tail and both sides. Its height is 35mm. The bird is well-preserved but with patches of powdery green 'bronze disease'.
The purpose of this crudely modelled object is uncertain. It may have formed a mount to a staff and may have had a religious function.

A worn head from a Roman copper alloy female standing figure. No neck survives and most of the back of the head is also missing. The head is hollow and is partly infilled with dark grey fired clay. The head has a ring of braided hair, parted in front and on the top. The hair is delineated on the top of the head by curving grooves. There is a probable diadem above and below the braids, on the front. The facial features are eroded, especially the nose.
This appears to be the head from a complete standing figurine, perhaps Fortuna. Emma Durham kindly comments: There are plenty of exam…

The sex of the figurine is unclear. The hair is held in a small bun at the neck and the details of the hair are engraved.
Emma Durham kindly comments:
The Cupid is very typical of the pieces found in Britain, the majority of which are in this stance, looking up and with the right arm rais…

Object type: FIGURINE
Broad period: ROMAN
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A small copper-alloy figurine of a quadruped seated on a roughly rectangular plinth with its tail curled around its back and to the right. Two stubs on the animal's back may be the remains of a suspension loop. It is not clear what animal is represented here. It is probably a wolf or a dog. The date is also problematic. The figurine could possibly be Roman or maybe 17th to 19th century.
