Silver statuette of a prancing tigress, from the Hoxne Treasure. Roman, 4th CE. Intended as one of a pair of handles for a large silver amphora or vase, though no other part of such an object was found in the hoard. Tigers and other large feline species were associated with Bacchus. Buried in the 5th CE, discovered in 1992. The figure is a solid casting with stripes inlaid in niello to create a black contrast with the silver background. Length: 15.9 cm. Inv. 19,940,408.30.
