This exquisite enamelled bronze cockerel figurine was found by our archaeologists late in 2011 during excavations at the site of Cirencester’s western cemetery.

In modern France, this is associated with skis.
This story warms the cockerels of my heart!
Thanks for NOT saying “3nd century CE”. Was deployed to Cotswolds during Gulf War 1 and found Cirencester to be one of my favorite towns. The museum there is incredible for Roman history.
That’s just beautiful!
What an amazingly preserved piece.
