Abstract:		 The well-known miniature bronze model repays close study for its technique of manufacture and the information it provides on the RB plough. The model was made in cire-perdu technique, but the finisher failed to remove a strip meant to support the raised arm and goad of the ploughman during moulding and casting. The figure is skilfully modelled to show a man thrusting on the plough, dressed in a woollen tunic, leggings and a hooded leather cape. The draught animals are a bull and a cow, probably signifying the performance of a religious ceremony. The yoke is shown in stylised form only, but the plough seems to be a bow-ard modified by means of a flanged share and detachable earth-boards and coulter. The 2nd-3rd century date previously proposed is still acceptable.
