A copper alloy mount of Iron Age date, about 100 BC - AD 100, prrobably from a vessel, maybe a handle escutcheon from a bucket. It is zoomorphic and stylised, having the shape of a boar's head and neck. The back of the body is flat and two integral rivets project. The narrow mounting plate is bevelled on the front, making it D shaped in cross-section. The neck of the animal extends from the top of the plate, curving forwards and down. The back of the neck is marked with a series of closely spaced, narrow grooves so that it appears to be serrated, perhaps representing the bristles…

A Roman copper alloy jug made of sheet metal with a damaged base, present as a separate component. The body is slightly crushed, but is conical with an oval midsection of around 225mm diameter. The base narrows below this into a cylindrical footring of 168mm diameter, now detached, comprised of a lathe-turned circular plate with a soldered sheet metal rim which has broken from the body, probably as a result of plough damage. The body of the jug narrows upwards into a neck which is 42.4mm in diameter. This has a thickened rim with projecting spout and an opening of 32.5mm internal diam…

A fragment of a copper alloy early medieval (Anglo-Saxon) vessel handle. The fragment is roughly S-shaped with a hooked terminal at one end, before it curves round into a longer straight section before curving again at 90 degrees in the opposite direction just behind the break. The outer edge of this inner curve has an elongated sub-oval section attached across it. The reverse of the object is flattened and the outer face bevelled. The surface of the metal is corroded and the breaks well worn. Prof. Chris Skull (pers. com.) suggests that this may be the handle from a Frankish tri…

A complete Iron Age cast copper alloy vessel mount in the form of a boar or pig, dating to c. 50 BC to 100 AD. The pig is small, squat and rounded in appearance, with an almost globular rear end, which has a slight suggestion of a curled tail. The back is slightly pointed, creating an unbalanced pointed oval cross section through the body, with the rounded belly contrasting with the pinched spine which is clearly present as a marked ridge. The spine slopes downwards sharply from its highest point to a distinct neck, before the object widens again at the pig's head, just behind two …

A cast copper alloy bull's head vessel or bucket mount dated to the late Iron Age / Early Roman period, about 300 BC - 300 AD. The figurative mount is in the form of a bovine (ox, cow or bull) head, with horns and a long nose. It is a rounded rectangle in cross section. The horns project from the upper corners of the mount. They taper to a blunt point and are slightly curved. At least two vertical lines are incised on the brow, perhaps representing a fringe of hair or a forelock, or a strip of binding. At the base of the fringe lines is a transverse raised panel. It is decorated wi…

A copper alloy Early Medieval hooked escutcheon from a hanging bowl, probably dating from AD 500 - 700. The plate is broadly shield shaped, with a flat top and curved sides tapering towards each other, but there is a rounded projection at the base. This shape probably represents a bird as a whole. The zoomorphic hook in the form of a bird's head projects from the centre of the flat top. It is decorated with three grooves running along the back of the hook, and terminates in a stylised rounded head and long tapering and downward curving beak. There are recesses to represent the eyes…

An incomplete and plough-damaged sheet copper slloy vessel, possibly used for a cremation, dating to the first century AD. The vessel is globular with an everted rim and flat base with low pedistal rim. The base shows concentric rings and a central dimple, suggesting that a lathe was used to raise the metal into a thin sheet. Hammered sheet metal? There is evidence for other lathe-risen metal vessels from Misbourne Valley, near Amersham, Bucks, and also on this database (SWYOR-ED47D0 and GLO-048BB1). No decoration evident. Rim is quite substantial and out of proportion to the rest of …

Part of an Early Medieval hanging bowl dating from about AD 500 - 700. Part of the rim and upper half survives in several pieces, and two of the escutcheons and their attached annular loops. The curvature of the largest surviving piece suggests a rim diameter of about 200mm. The rim is made from sheet which curves inwards to form a wide concave gulley immediately below the rim, and is then slightly everted and thickened a little at the rim forming an angled top. The thickened part of the rim is about 2.6mm thick. About 60% of the rim survives, in four pieces. The wall of the ves…

An almost complete small fine ware vessel. Appearance seems to be a well-made vessel with a red slip coating on the outside with occasional inclusions of mica which is probably of Roman date. The rim of the object curves outwards and is chipped and worn in one place. Circumferential grooves from the wheel (wheel marks) are visible on the internal face of the vessel and on the vessel base which is uneven due to wear. The vessel is mid-orange in color and is in good condition. The rim, body and part of the base of the vessel is worn however overall there is not much wear.

Two adjoining sherds of a Roman 'Wiltshire imitation samian' dating to c.AD 75-150. The sherds seem to be from just below the rim of a large open vessel, probably a straight sided bowl similar to form 30 or 37 with a small part of the beaded rim visible in the top corner. The fabric appears to be a fairly hard fabric with few inclusions, occasional rounded stone (possibly iron stone, void only visible) and sparsely micaceous. The fabric has bright orange margins and in places a dark buff to grey core although in other paces the core is also orange, it also appears laminar in places. T…

Description: An incomplete lead alloy salt pan of Roman date. The object consists of two halves of a salt pan of flattened lead alloy each of which are rectangular in plan with a folded rectangular rim along two edges. The remaining two edges on each half appear to have been cut in what appears to be a deliberate way. One half of the object (fragment 1) is marked with three circles in a triangular formation next to the numerals XXX. These are likely to be a measure of capacity. The other half (fragment 2) has been stamped with a possible name reading (OCCOTHOM) written with wha…

A copper alloy zoomorphic Anglo-Saxon hook from a hanging bowl. The object is curved in profile and is elaborately cast in the form of a beast, possibly a dog. The terminal of the beast has an elongated snout which is D-shaped in cross-section. Sitting above the snout within a raised border or collet are two circular eyes formed out of green glass. The glass is degraded and appears 'frosted', but is translucent when a light is shone across. Between and joining the eyes are two moulded ridges separated with a groove.

A cast copper alloy vessel mount of Late Iron Age / early Roman date, circa AD 50 - 200. The vessel mount is formed from a flat piece of copper alloy; the object is convex on the upper face and flat on the reverse face. The mount comprises three rounded knops forming a trefoil shaped outer edge with a relatively flat and damaged opposing edge. The flat edge is presumed where the object would have fit on to the side of a vessel. The mount is decorated with a symmetrical design in moulded relief. In the centre of the object placed on the largest of the three projecting knops is a mou…
