Title: Roman Mount Post by: jaydogg on February 03, 2014, 03:39:52 PM I had the privilege to find this Roman bird mount recently, the sum-total of my decent finds for a wet and very muddy day. It even has its original eyes in-situ; interestingly, one is blue stone while the other is opaque and is probably made of glass. Has anybody else seen anything similar or found one before?
