Head of 'Posthumus'

Archaeology (Verulamium Museum)

Cast representation of the head of 'Posthumus', the skeleton found in the lead coffin at Havercroft Close, St. Albans. In 1989 a fine lead coffin decorated with scallop shells, symbols of re-birth, was discovered. Inside lay the well preserved skeleton of a man. His skull was used to make the reconstruction of this face and a video presentation at the museums tells you his story.
