Description
**First Time At Auction**

Roman, Imperial Period, ca. 1st to 3rd century CE. A cast-bronze concave disc-shaped applique depicting the face of a young man, shown with gentle facial features and wearing a corded strap underneath his chin. The heads of two small fish project from the top of the head, appearing almost horn-like atop lengthy locks of flowing hair, and are perhaps evocatine of Neptune, the Roman god of the sea. The entire fitting is covered in a lustrous green patina. Size: 1.15" Diameter (2.9 cm).
