Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st to 3rd century CE. A fine gathering of three bronze attachments that are covered in fine layers of green and brown patina. First is a fragmentary bronze face bearing a kind smile and a shaggy coiffure. Second is a leaded bronze theater maskette with an exaggerated mouth, slanted eyes, and a peaked cap bearing a pierced suspension hole. The largest copper-iron attachment depicts a perforated anchor with two duck-billed hooks that suspend an omega-form handle - each with a pair of additional duck bills - from the inner curve. Size of largest (duck bills): 2.1" W x 3.5" H (5.3 cm x 8.9 cm)
