Incomplete and badly abrarded hinged and probably ovoid lid of a Roman copper alloy flagon with none of the edge extant. Part of an integrally cast projection, probably the figure of a bird, survives but the hinge has not. Similar to Tassinari 1975, pl. XXXV nos. 180-2, cf. NMS-5E0BA5. The breaks are recent. Weight 13.18g. Extant length 40.5mm. Width 36.3mm. Thickness excluding the projection 2.8mm. 2nd - 3rd century.
