The head is spherical but flattens out were it meets the iron shank. From the weight the head appears solid and is 13.86mm in diameter with a flattened top. There are the corroded remains of an iron shank, c. 4.96mm diameter. Similar large spherical headed studs or nails are recorded in Crummy (1983, 115; fig. 116) although those have copper alloy shanks; similar examples with iron shanks are also recorded on this database, e.g. SUSS-DFE0E6, HAMP-25FEC0. Crummy (ibid.) suggests these were used on furniture. However, because of the fragmented nature of the stud, as well as its lack of secure context, a larger overall date of Roman-Post Medieval is suggested for this example. 0.028642ISLE OF WIGHTSTEELYARD WEIGHTISLE OF WIGHT2012-03-02T18:11:31ZSOUTH EAST AND LONDON42.9LeadIOW2012-4-100.JPG372643Frank BasfordFrank Basford491899Isle of WightIOW-10D5274Restricted Access330images/fbasford/2012-03-05T13:34:00Z1UNKNOWN50.725646 A cast lead misshapen spheroid steelyard weight of Unknown date.

The belt hook is S shaped with an oval cross section. A zoomorphic or animal head terminal is present at either end, with a slit mouth, curling snout and ears. At the centre of the S is a 'waisted' area of four knops. The belt hook is a mid to dark green colour, with an even surface patina. It has suffered from a degree of abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil. This abrasion has resulted in a loss of some surface detail. The belt hook measures 28.77mm in length, 11.78mm wide and 3.4mm thick. It weighs 3.1 grams. The belt hook is stylistically similar to a dragon or a sea creature as opposed to the more common snake design. The earliest snake-form fasteners appear on portraits of the early post-Medieval period, often in association with sword-belts. Bailey (1997, 20) states that the 'snake form belt hooks' became popular during the 16th century, where an example can be seen in the portrait of Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester, c. 1575. The fastener was part of a sword belt, and was used in place of the normal buckle. It is likely that these strap fittings would have been tinned or gilded. The snake belt hook would seem to have fallen from fashion by the 17th century, and remained so until the end of the 18th century, when it was favoured by the military. It is highly improbable that it is a dragonesque plate brooch of Roman dating, due to it not being a plate brooch or due to the absence of enameled decoration. Read has published a similar belt fitting as #822 (Read, 2008, 230) which he has dated to c. mid 16th to c. early 17th Century, possibly from a sword belt. However the style is a relatively long lived one, persisting into the 20th Century. Several similar belt fittings have been recorded on the PAS database, all of Early Post Medieval dating (1500 to 1700 AD): WMID-F55797 from Derbyshire; DENO-EEBBD4 from Lincolnshire; SWYOR-D7BF04 from North Lincolnshire; SWYOR-EC2FB8 from North Yorkshire; WMID-11DAC3 from Warwickshire and WILT-A862F5 & WILT-468492 from Wiltshire.

The mount consists of a vertical bar, from the base of which projects a forward-facing hook. The bar is parallel-sided and of triangular section. At the top, a narrower 'waist' separates the central portion from the terminal, the latter of which contains an in situ copper-alloy rivet and is surmounted by a narrower, vertically-projecting lobe. The second rivet occupies a raised moulding just above the base of the bar. The hook is slightly narrower than the bar, of rectangular section, and tapers towards the end, where there is a rectangular plate. The upper surface of the corroded mount bears traces of gilding.

Approximately 95% of the brooch is present consisting of the bow, wings and spring casing. The pin is missing. In plan, the brooch is almost T-shaped, and D-shaped in cross section. The bow head is hump-like, and angular (comma shaped) in profile, with cylindral wings projecting from either side at the top. The bow is decorated by a central vertical rib, and a small rib at the junction between the bow and the wing caps. Each of the wings has a sub circular wing cap, with a perforation for the spring. A hook pointing forwards, is located at the head of the brooch, a small part of the spring is still present. The back of the brooch is plain and undecorated. A cylindral groove is present along the length of the back, between the two wings and would have originally held the coiled spring. The brooch measures 31.3mm in length, 26.73mm wide and 12.4mm thick. The brooch is a mid to dark green colour, and has an even surface patina. The patina has however been abraded from a couple of areas, mainly the vertical rib and the top of the wing caps. Colchester derivatives (Polden Hill style) brooches are one of the most frequently encountered roman brooch types, with examples being recorded from the majority of England and Wales. Hattatt (2004) illustrated several examples of this style of brooch on page 300, figure 159. Examples #24, #25 and #26 exhibit a similar decorative style when compared to our example here from Worcestershire. #24 was from Lincolnshire whereas #25 and #26 were both from London. All Colchester derivative (Polden Hill styles) brooches are considered to date from c.75 AD to c.175 AD. Reference: Hattatt, R. (2000) A Visual Catalogue of Richard Hattatt's Ancient Brooches.

Mounts of this type were common in the Roman period as casket or vessel mounts. However, they reappear during the Georgian period and indications are that this is a Georgian mount rather than Roman. The patina of the copper alloy suggest a more recent date, as does the expression of the lion's face, which is more fierce than is typical of the roman examples. -0.86823SP7785Henry III of EnglandPennyBRECKLANDCOINNORFOLK2012-03-02T16:20:48ZEAST1251SilverCanterbury10Adrian MarsdenAdrian Marsden491876NMS-0F35E23HOELong cross class 5, not further defined2012-03-02T16:24:00ZEnglish coin short and long cross period 1180 - 1278WILLEM ON CANT11272MEDIEVAL52.705075 Silver penny of Henry III, voided long cross class 5, moneyer Willem of Canterbury, 1251-72 hENRICVS REX III0.944054TF9916BalbinusRadiate (antoninianus)SALISBURYCOINWILTSHIRE2012-03-02T16:20:01ZSOUTH WEST22238SilverRome (Italy)6WILT-0F3306.jpg372614Katie HindsDavid AlgarRadiate draped cuirassed bust right491875SalisburyWILT-0F33064Restricted Access3.74images/khinds/2012-03-02T16:25:00ZCONCORDIA AVGG1ROMAN51.02406Two clasped hands A Roman radiate of Balbinus (AD 238), reverse: CONCORDIA AVGG around two clasped hands.
