A Rare Ancient Roman Bronze Head Of A Figure With An Iron Loop In The Form Of A Cross, c.200 AD.

The Head May Depict A Deity, Possibly A Syncretic Figure Blending Greco-Roman And Early Christian Iconography.

The Cross Shaped Loop Is Unusual For Traditional Roman Religion, Suggesting A Possible Early Christian Influence, Which Was Beginning To Emerge Around 200 AD. It Is Possible That It Was Added At A Later Date.

It May Have Been A Devotional Item Representing A Local Or Household Deity, With A Loop For Hanging In A Shrine, Or A Pendant Or Amulet Carried For Protection Or As A Symbol Of Faith.
