The other retains a white surface flecked with red which may indicate that this, and perhaps the other, recess was filled with enamel. Polished by wear overall, and with extensive iron staining suggesting …

A copper alloy Colchester brooch dating from 25 - 60 AD. It is made in one piece and has half of the integral coiled spring surviving. It would have had six turns. The strip of metal forming the sping projects from the back of the head, makes three turns on the right of the brooch (when viewed from the back), and then extends into the external chord which is held under the forward facing hook which is also integral. It breaks at this point but would have continued to make three turns at the other side before extending into the pin. The very small wings are plain, as is the circular se…

A cylindrical, hollow, object with a central 6mm wide rounded groove encircling the body. The areas to each side of the groove are decorated with encircling incised lines (two on one side and one on the other). A circular hole passes through the groove and there is a similar hole on the other side. A rectilinear loop emerges from one side and this is pierced with a circular hole which at one point uses the profile of the rounded groove as its edge. One end of the cylinder appears to be original but the other appears to be broken.

Incomplete cast copper alloy toggle dating from the late Iron Age to the early Roman period. The head of the toggle is sub-cylindrical.

Treasure case 2012 T243: Acquired by Somerset Museums Description The object comprises a gold coin set within an iron mount. The coin was produced in central-southern Britain during the late Iron Age, probably between about 40 BC and 20 BC. Although little detail of the original design survives, it is an example of a coin-type known as 'British Qb'. These coins are traditionally ascribed to the Atrebates, a people thought to have lived in the Hampshire area in the Iron Age. In fact, find-spots now suggest that these coins may also have been produced further to the west in Gloucest…
