Description (Physical description)
Hooked object; made from copper alloy. Likely from the La Tène period. Perhaps an ornamental mount with the form of an abstract swan's head and neck; or perhaps a (belt?) hook. Pronounced indentation where the swan's 'beak' would be. Rough, apparently broken surface at the other end, suggesting it was formerly attached to another object. Green-brown patina.
