Title
Copper alloy snake
Description
English: A copper alloy snake figurine, of probable postmedieval date. The snake is flattened in the horizontal plane, and thus cannot have been suffered signifiantly from post-depositional deformation. Its body is simple and cylindrical, with sinuous curves, and it head is equally rudimentarily rendered, with an unadorned, gaping mouth, and two copper alloy studs for eyes. A postmedieval date seems likely, but no close parallels could be found.
Depicted place (County of findspot) Northamptonshire
Date between 1500 and 1900
