Roman copper alloy anthropomorphic and zoomorphic handle<\/p>\n

The handle appears to be near-complete, with some damage to the socket and crushing on one face (with a length of 61.8mm, a maximum width of 31.6mm and a thickness of 18.8mm). The handle is comparatively heavy (at 83.6g) and is either composed of a heavily-leaded bronze or the socket contains lead, presumably as the remnants for a fixing. The decoration comprises a human face on each side, facing in opposite directions and adorned with elaborate headgear, which depicts a boar's head. The two faces vary considerably in style; one side may be young or female, while the other is an older, mature male. Both faces are depicted in a naturalistic style; the young face has pointed oval eyes with the right eye containing a central dot, while the left eye has a dot positioned at the top of the eye. The eyes on the older male are also depicted differently, where the left eye has an additional lateral incised line, making it appear narrower. The hairline is stepped to the brow on both faces and the hair is depicted as curvilinear incised marks. The older face is depicted with a moustache, long beard and furrowed brow, also defined by curvilinear incised marks. The nose is raised on both faces. The stepped hairline of the older face also represents the lower jaw line of the boar's head. The boar is also depicted in a naturalistic style; the sub-triangular ears are raised as a central ridge depicting the mane, enhanced with incised lines. Both pointed oval eyes contain a central punched dot. The snout at the terminal has an encircling groove, with a more prominent groove, depicting the mouth, slightly opened. A circular aperture (of 4.0mm diameter) perforates the snout, with wear or deep rubbing marks above and below, suggesting its use for suspension. Between the terminal and aperture, moulded triangular tusks are depicted, largely destroyed on one face by the suspension scars. The socket is oval (11.3mm x 6.8mm and 33.2mm deep) and had a raised border preserved at the base of the neck below each face but is torn, damaged and crushed on each side. The surface is worn but is well preserved with a dark-green patina.<\/p>\n \nMetallurgical analysis was conducted using X-ray fluorescence, demonstrating that the metal is a leaded bronze consistent with Romano-British alloys and alloys of other periods.\n \nThe handle is difficult to closely parallel in the archaeological literature. It would seem likely that the iconography on the handle contains symbolism, now difficult to ascertain. It is possible that the joined opposing faces represent both opposition and duality. Similar iconography is commonly represented on depictions of Janus, facing both into the future and the past and possibly here represented as both an old and young man. Furthermore, the iconography of Janus is linked with transitions, doorways and boundaries and therefore the possible function of the handle as a key handle is of particular relevance. The significance of the boar however is not obviously linked to Janus. Classical depictions of a bearded Silenus sometimes incorporate a younger, opposing face of Bacchus or Dionysus and Silunus is also linked with animal iconography and attributes, sometimes associated with a horse although, not generally with a boar. Depictions of Silenus with opposing heads are sometimes represented on gemstones from finger rings (Henig 1978, nos 373-380)[1]<\/a>, including examples with Minerva in a crested helmet, pan or a youthful head. Other representations include an elephant's head or a third head with elephant's tusks (ibid. nos 379-8). The treatment of the eyes, if deliberate is also difficult to interpret. The 'opposed head' has been adressed by Amit (2009)[2]<\/a> in relation to earlier La T\u00e8ne art, who argues that depictions of death are often portrayed through the treatment of the eyes on opposing heads. Amit (ibid.) references a cast bronze fibula from Niedersch\u00f6nhausen, Germany depicting a young male joined to an older bearded male with a conjoined ram's head and suggests that the iconography represents different states of being, possibly incorporating spirits or ancestors.\n

The brooch is near complete, missing the pin and some peripheral damage (with a length of 33.7mm, a distorted width of 37.6mm and a weight of 6.9g). The brooch employed a hinge mechanism with twin lugs (6.9mm deep), positioned on the rear of one of the peripheral lugs on the side. The catch-plate is positioned on the rear of the opposing lug (9.9mm deep). The rear of the brooch is hollowed (with an overall distorted depth of 11.5mm). The peripheral lugs are sub-circular (7mm wide by 6-7mm long) and remnants of deep-blue enamel survive in all but one of the lugs.<\/p>

\n<\/p>\n\n

\n<\/p>\n\n

The brooch has a sub-lozenge shaped panel (16.6mm sq.) with a central oval domed boss (12.8mm long, 9.7mm wide and 3.9mm deep). The boss was enhanced with an anthropomorphic design, comprising a face. Many of the features are obscured by corrosion but the raised nose is prominent. The eyes are discernible as lentoid depressions flanked by raised mouldings. The face is perpendicular to the direction of the pin. The brooch has a brown patina with patches of white to pale green corrosion or surface leeching.<\/p>

Late Roman copper alloy buckle, probably of 4th<\/sup> or early 5th<\/sup> century date (Worrell 2010, 416, no. 1, fig. 3). The buckle is complete, comprising a frame, pin or tongue and plate (with an overall length of 97mm and a weight of 72.8g). The buckle frame is zoomorphic with two horse's heads facing each other and meeting at the centre (with a maximum thickness of 5.5mm). The ears of the horse protrude at the sides (producing a maximum width for the frame of 42.9mm). The snouts of the horses expand towards their ends and are separated by moulded grooves, defining a central rounded knop. The grooves accommodate the twin double-fork of the pin. The eyes of the horses are defined by cast spirals in relief. The spirals tail to form a rib along the necks of the horses, outside of which the frame is thinner (2.3mm compared to 4.2mm). At the base of the neck, at the attachment end of the buckle are three applied grooves, flanking a hinged loop at each side (with a depth of 8.7mm). The buckle frame has in-turned or involuted terminals. The rear of the frame is slightly convex with some finishing.<\/p>\n

The pin or tongue has a wide cast loop (10.2mm external diameter) and gradually widens and thickens before forming rearward projections (with a width of 22.7mm), which complement the in-turned terminals of the frame. The tongue has a double-forked pin. The pin and buckle frame are secured to the buckle pate with a circular-sectioned axis bar (2.8mm diameter), which is secured by closed loops in opposing directions at the terminal.<\/p>\n

The buckle plate (with an overall length of 66.2mm) has four hinge loops, which flank the two frame loops and the central tongue loop. The plate has openwork decoration within a rectangular frame (56.8mm long x 36.7mm wide and 3.6mm thick). The frame has an incised border with a rectangular panel on the frame side, containing diagonal grooves from alternating sides. At the centre of the frame is an openwork horse, trotting and facing towards the frame end. Grooves on the horse are used to define the snout, eyes, ears, mane and hoofs. Above the back of the horse is an pelta motif enhanced with grooved arcs. The pelta is thinner than the horse and it is unclear what, if anything it is intended to represent, possibly a tree or a much stylised rider. The rear end of the horse is poorly executed compared to the front. The reverse of the plate has four integral D-shaped lugs (8-9mm high and giving the plate a maximum depth of 12.8mm), positioned near each corner. Each lug has a central circular perforation (3.6mm - 3.9mm diameter) used to attach the buckle to the belt.<\/p>\n

The buckle has good surface preservation; a recently applied coating by the finder has produced a dark-green patina.<\/p>\n

Analysis to ascertain the elemental composition of the artefacts was carried out using a CamScanMaXim 2040 analytical scanning electron microscope (SEM), plus an Oxford Instruments Link Isis energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDX).The objects were examined whole within the specimen chamber and were analysed for 100 live seconds using a working distance of 35mm and an accelerating voltage of 20kV. Where possible, areas of metal exposed from under the surface corrosion were analysed. Apart from very superficial surface swabbing of the artefacts there was usually no further sample preparation. The results are semi-quantitative and overall totals taken from minimally prepared surfaces are usually affected to some degree by the surface geometry of the artefacts, including factors such as curvature, pitting and indentations etc. Other factors that can also affect the results include surface oxidation, surface enrichment or depletion of certain elements, contamination from closely adhering dirt, and preferential corrosion.<\/p>\n

Three separate readings were taken and the majority of the overall totals acquired were slightly low due to the factors described above. The results were normalised to 100% to obtain consistency between the readings and to make the analyses comparable with other results the average compositions were: 88-90% copper, 4% zinc and 5% tin. Minor amounts of lead, nickel and antimony also detected<\/p>\n

The buckle type is generally characteristic of a type of late Roman buckle, sometimes referred as the 'Soldiers and Settlers' type after an article by Chadwick, Dunning and Hawkes (1961)[1]<\/a>. The buckle generally fits into their type II A (ibid. p 50-51), although it is slightly different in having a pair of facing horses on the frame, rather than the more usual dolphins, with horses generally appear on buckles of type I B, with projecting horse's heads facing away from each other. The tongue rarely survives on this buckle type but when it does, it commonly has the rear-facing projections but rarely has a double pin. The axis bar with terminal loops is also difficult to parallel and may have been replaced or is a repair. The elaborate openwork plate is also fairly difficult to closely parallel. The central horse figure is reminiscent of 'Horse-and-rider' type plate brooches of 2nd<\/sup> century date. The best identified parallel for the buckle plate is an example from Argeliers in southern France, published by Aurrecoechea Fernandez (1999)[2]<\/a> as his 'Pseudo-Hispanic' 'Dolphin' Belts with Figural Decoration: 'Santome' type. As noted by the type name, the Argelier buckle has dolphins on the frame but has a similar plate with openwork horse and is without the pelta shape and also the rear attachment lugs. Pseudo-Hispanic buckles are characterised by shanks on the rear to attach the belt and examples with perforated lugs are difficult to identify. Aurrecoechea Fernandez (ibid) dates this type to between AD350 and 380 on the continent.<\/p>\n\n

The brooch has a hinge mechanism with tubular wings. The wings are slightly angled to the rear, and decorated on the front with vertical mouldings. The bow is broad at the head and the sides converge to a very slender foot knob. The bow has a D-shaped section and for most the length of the bow, the sides are finely serrated, forming small triangles. On the head are two damaged lugs or crests, these tended to portray recumbent dogs on true Sawfish types. The lower crest remnant is possibly a chain loop, and tended to be formed from the dog\u2019s tail, although on this example the crests appear too slender (1-1.5mm thick). Beneath the crest is a sub-triangular cell containing red enamel, leading to a column of four chevrons, which grow smaller as they approach the foot. The chevrons are flanked on either side by triangular cells, which would have probably contained red enamel. ","notes":"This brooch shares characteristics of both types of brooches with serrated bows, Hull\u2019s types 144 and 145. The general character incorporating fine edge serration, a slender head crest (or chord lug), confined enamel panel and a foot knob are closest to Hull\u2019s Type 144. The brooch differs however in the mechanism, which here is a hinge and in Type 144 is akin to Polden Hill spring gear in addition to the possible presence of a chain loop. The Swordfish (Hull 145) has a hinge mechanism but the serrated teeth are more widely spaced, the enamelled panel covers more of the bow and the foot has an angled circular knob. Overall, this brooch can be seen as a variant of Hull\u2019s type 144.","reuse":null,"created":"2004-03-09 17:30:16","updated":"2011-02-24 12:19:17","secwfstage":"4","findofnote":null,"objecttypecert":"0","datefound1":"2004-02-01","datefound2":null,"inscription":null,"disccircum":null,"museumAccession":null,"subsequentAction":"1","objectCertainty":"0","dateFromCertainty":"1","dateToCertainty":"1","dateFoundFromCertainty":null,"dateFoundToCertainty":null,"subPeriodFrom":null,"subPeriodTo":null,"createdBy":"47","obverse_description":null,"obverse_inscription":null,"reverse_description":null,"reverse_inscription":null,"denomination":null,"degree_of_wear":null,"allen_type":null,"va_type":null,"mack":null,"reeceID":null,"die":null,"wearID":null,"moneyer":null,"revtypeID":null,"categoryID":null,"typeID":null,"tribeID":null,"status":null,"rulerQualifier":null,"denominationQualifier":null,"mintQualifier":null,"dieAxisCertainty":null,"initialMark":null,"reverseMintMark":null,"statusQualifier":null,"reason":null,"username":"mlodwick","fullname":"Mark Lodwick","institution":"NMGW","usernameUpdate":"dpett","fullnameUpdate":"Daniel Pett","primaryMaterial":"Copper alloy","secondaryMaterial":null,"decoration":null,"style":null,"manufacture":"Cast","surfaceTreatment":"Inlaid with enamel","completeness":null,"preservation":"Good","cert":null,"periodFrom":"ROMAN","periodTo":"ROMAN","discmethod":"Metal detector","tribe":null,"region":null,"area":null,"ruler1":null,"ruler2":null,"period_name":null,"date_range":null,"mint_name":null,"wear":null,"category":null,"type":null,"reverseType":null,"county":"WILTSHIRE","district":"NORTH WILTSHIRE","knownas":null,"gridRefSource":"From Finder"},{"old_findID":"NMGW-DF5163","id":"62012","uniqueID":"001404DF5E7016E1","objecttype":"brooch","classification":"Disc","subclass":null,"length":null,"height":null,"width":"19.8","thickness":"10","diameter":"18.9","quantity":"1","other_ref":"NMGWPA 2004.40.1","treasureID":null,"broadperiod":"ROMAN","numdate1":"100","numdate2":"200","culture":null,"description":"Roman copper alloy enamelled disc brooch of 2nd century AD date.

The brooch employed a hinge mechanism with tubular wings enclosing a copper alloy axis bar. The wings have not been cast at a right angle to the bow, and also slope towards the rear of the head. The wings are decorated with vertical mouldings. The top of the head has a simple chain loop, which is now broken. The upper bow is of sub-triangular section, and was decorated with short irregular incised lines. The button is unusual and is composed of a flat oval panel with an incised border defining a central chevron. The chevron panel contains four recessed U-shaped cells around a central circular cell, forming a floral motif. The recessed cells are likely to have contained enamel. The lower bow is decorated with short incised lines to the moulded foot. The catch-plate arcs from the rear of the button, and the rear of the catch is decorated with an incised zigzag line. Traces of silvering or tinning survive on some of the surface.","notes":"The brooch can be best paralleled with Hattatt\u2019s (1987) Nos. 918-9, Hull\u2019s Type 122. The decoration on the button of this example is slightly different with the arrangement of the U-shaped cells within a chevron as apposed to two triangular cells in a lozenge. Other features on the brooch are similar.","reuse":null,"created":"2004-03-09 15:25:13","updated":"2011-02-24 12:19:17","secwfstage":"4","findofnote":null,"objecttypecert":"0","datefound1":"2003-09-01","datefound2":"2004-02-01","inscription":null,"disccircum":null,"museumAccession":null,"subsequentAction":"1","objectCertainty":"0","dateFromCertainty":"1","dateToCertainty":"1","dateFoundFromCertainty":"2","dateFoundToCertainty":"3","subPeriodFrom":null,"subPeriodTo":null,"createdBy":"47","obverse_description":null,"obverse_inscription":null,"reverse_description":null,"reverse_inscription":null,"denomination":null,"degree_of_wear":null,"allen_type":null,"va_type":null,"mack":null,"reeceID":null,"die":null,"wearID":null,"moneyer":null,"revtypeID":null,"categoryID":null,"typeID":null,"tribeID":null,"status":null,"rulerQualifier":null,"denominationQualifier":null,"mintQualifier":null,"dieAxisCertainty":null,"initialMark":null,"reverseMintMark":null,"statusQualifier":null,"reason":null,"username":"mlodwick","fullname":"Mark Lodwick","institution":"NMGW","usernameUpdate":"dpett","fullnameUpdate":"Daniel Pett","primaryMaterial":"Copper alloy","secondaryMaterial":null,"decoration":null,"style":null,"manufacture":null,"surfaceTreatment":"Inlaid with enamel","completeness":"Incomplete","preservation":null,"cert":null,"periodFrom":"ROMAN","periodTo":null,"discmethod":"Metal detector","tribe":null,"region":null,"area":null,"ruler1":null,"ruler2":null,"period_name":null,"date_range":null,"mint_name":null,"wear":null,"category":null,"type":null,"reverseType":null,"county":"VALE OF GLAMORGAN","district":"Vale of Glamorgan","knownas":null,"gridRefSource":null},{"old_findID":"NMGW-C9E5A3","id":"61817","uniqueID":"001404C9EA601DE4","objecttype":"Brick","classification":null,"subclass":null,"length":null,"height":null,"width":null,"thickness":null,"diameter":null,"quantity":"1","other_ref":"NMGWPA 2004.21","treasureID":null,"broadperiod":"ROMAN","numdate1":"43","numdate2":"410","culture":null,"description":"Damaged brick, probably of Roman date","notes":null,"reuse":null,"created":"2004-03-08 16:26:14","updated":"2011-02-24 12:19:17","secwfstage":"3","findofnote":null,"objecttypecert":"0","datefound1":"2004-01-01","datefound2":null,"inscription":null,"disccircum":null,"museumAccession":null,"subsequentAction":"1","objectCertainty":"0","dateFromCertainty":null,"dateToCertainty":null,"dateFoundFromCertainty":null,"dateFoundToCertainty":null,"subPeriodFrom":null,"subPeriodTo":null,"createdBy":"47","obverse_description":null,"obverse_inscription":null,"reverse_description":null,"reverse_inscription":null,"denomination":null,"degree_of_wear":null,"allen_type":null,"va_type":null,"mack":null,"reeceID":null,"die":null,"wearID":null,"moneyer":null,"revtypeID":null,"categoryID":null,"typeID":null,"tribeID":null,"status":null,"rulerQualifier":null,"denominationQualifier":null,"mintQualifier":null,"dieAxisCertainty":null,"initialMark":null,"reverseMintMark":null,"statusQualifier":null,"reason":null,"username":"mlodwick","fullname":"Mark Lodwick","institution":"NMGW","usernameUpdate":"dpett","fullnameUpdate":"Daniel Pett","primaryMaterial":null,"secondaryMaterial":null,"decoration":null,"style":null,"manufacture":null,"surfaceTreatment":null,"completeness":"Fragment","preservation":null,"cert":null,"periodFrom":"ROMAN","periodTo":null,"discmethod":"Chance find during metal detecting","tribe":null,"region":null,"area":null,"ruler1":null,"ruler2":null,"period_name":null,"date_range":null,"mint_name":null,"wear":null,"category":null,"type":null,"reverseType":null,"county":"WILTSHIRE","district":"NORTH WILTSHIRE","knownas":null,"gridRefSource":null},{"old_findID":"NMGW-C9C564","id":"61814","uniqueID":"001404C9D6101972","objecttype":"Vessel","classification":"Coarse ware","subclass":"Oxidised","length":null,"height":null,"width":null,"thickness":null,"diameter":null,"quantity":"42","other_ref":"NMGWPA 2004.21","treasureID":null,"broadperiod":"ROMAN","numdate1":"43","numdate2":"410","culture":null,"description":"42 sherds of Roman oxidised coarse wares, including 7 rim sherds, 1 handle and 6 base sherds.
