This object was found in an area where much roman and Celtic artifacts and coins have been found. It mystifies me too think how this thing was mounted onto something, look at the bottom.
But it is a nice find.
I am not 100% sure that the large ball is a eye, but could be. It appears that there was only one eye, the other side is smooth and can see no place where something was mounted.
I would imagine something like this would be cast (wax method?).
Any answers?
The measurments are:
Weight : 10.31 gram
Height : 21 mm
The bottom or mount face is 22 x 13.8 mm
Material : appears to be bronze
