[Bronze objects] ROMAN. Bronze bucranium. Circa 1st-2nd century AD. Height to tip of horns 12.5cm. Cast and chased figure of a bull’s skull, with dedicatory wreath would around the curved horns. Deep-set eye sockets probably once inlaid. There were two points of attachment on the back, at the base of the horns.
