Bronze animal head

This I found on a Roman field, archaeologists do not know exactly.
Roman? or iron age?
Upper part of a dagger.
It is old that I know.

Wow, super interesting. I'm looking forward to someone figuring this one out.

Can we have a pic of the bottom/neck area. Is it solid or hollow?

Neat find

Does it look broken - or have something broken off? Maybe a broken caltrop? Interesting!

Has it got an a slot in the bottom to hold the blade? If so it could be a knife terminal & I agree, it looks ancient. Iron age seems more likely, but might be a cross-over with the Roman period. What we would call Romano-Celtic, not sure what your term is?

Reminds me of the space alien grasshoppers from old sci fi movie "Quartermass and the pit"
So maybe its supposed to be a grasshopper?

If it's got iron remains chances are for it being a dagger/knife pommel, the iron being were the blade went to the pommel, and as you found it on a Roman field....you have your answer..cool find
