Bronze fitting decorated with a bust of Neptune
A bronze-toned relief bust of a bearded man with wavy, curled hair and a full beard, shown in three-quarter view over a drapery-covered chest. The bust is mounted on a rectangular block with a small projecting rod at the right edge, typical of a decorative fitting.
Look closer: A small hole pierces the upper right corner of the block, beside the bust.
