Hi

Try using the mug/mobile method. Explained here by our member Dave:

It is also made a lot easier if you download and print our scale:

Probably not. The surface patina contains all the detail and it's already coming off. You might reveal more detail by stabilising the surface but this is a bit hit and miss without the experience to judge what is the best treatment to use.

As Fred says, looks to have a green patina- this should be preserved where possible. With finds like this , once surface mud/soil etc has been removed down to the patina- look to keep it. Look at something like renaissance waz or paraloid b72 or something along those lines.
