\n1) One complete dog statue in a standing pose with a large drilled hole in both of the front paws to attach the item onto a base. The shoulders of the animal are decorated with a large asymmetrical sub-oval panel with a pointed tip. The panel on the left shoulder is shorter than its counterpart on the right which has a more elongated tip that is situated lower down its flank. The left panel is decorated with five rows of half-ovals, each oval is infilled with a series of chevrons bisected by a central vertical line, giving the appearance of layers of leaves or feathers. Just beyond the tip of this left panel on the upper left flank of the animal are two holes. It is unlikely these are casting flaws but instead could have held pins where an object may have been mounted.<\/p>\n\n
The right panel is more obovate, this has been infilled with a series of smaller obovates, as in the first panel these are infilled with a series of chevrons bisected by a central line and again give the appearance of layers of leaves or feathers.<\/p>\n\n
On the underside there is a large square hole in the stomach and its genitals are clearly displayed .
\n214mm long 134mm high 50mm wide<\/p>\n\n
\n2) Twenty fragments from large hollow cast bronze statue that would have stood about 3ft to 4ft tall (these items probably come from one statue but at this stage we cannot be certain)

\n\u2022 2c) One smaller fragment from the shoulder; 36.81g
\n\u2022 2d) Four fragments, undecorated 238.08g

\n3) Dodecahedron fragment retaining three knops<\/p>\n\n
\n4) 3rd-4th century folding frying pan\/ skillet handle fragment, see GLO-11A93C for a complete example<\/p>\n\n
\n5) One face with curly hair, possibly from a vessel<\/p>\n\n
\n6) One face of a figurine<\/p>\n\n
\n7) One animal paw that is the foot probably from a chest or box<\/p>\n\n
\n8) Two fragments of a thick copper alloy box. These are part of the base and wall; one is the corner that retains a curved projecting foot the lower corner.<\/p>\n\n
\n9) One bulls head escutcheon or mount with loop above and truncated loop below<\/p>\n\n
\n10) One Lion head escutcheon or mount (same as example from Lydney temple) with truncated loop above and three pierced lugs, one on each side and the third at the base.<\/p>\n\n
\n11) One human head escutcheon or mount, the head is residing in the centre of a trefoil back plate with a flat top edge in the centre of which is a large projecting loop.<\/p>\n\n
\n12) Circular escutcheon with notches running around the circumference<\/p>\n\n
\n13) Four fragments of an inscribed plaque reading [...](V?)MCONLA[...]. This is made from a thin strip of copper alloy plate, the side profile of the plate show that it is curved giving it a concave rear with a convex face; overall dimensions length 121.5mm, height 28mm, thickness 1.2mm, weight 23.84g<\/p>\n\n
Identification of the inscription is curtesy of Dr John Pearce of King's College London,<\/p>\n\n
'The fragmentary state of the inscription makes it very difficult to interpret with confidence, but two main possibilities can be proposed. The inscription may record the collection of money by a corporate body (a conlatio) - perhaps the citizens of a community such as Gloucester or its elites - most likely to pay for an honorific statue for a patron... Alternatively, it records the reconstruction of a building which had collapsed (conlapsum) through age or a similar cause. Whichever reading is preferred, the fragment is likely to come from a significant public building.' (Dr John Pearce of King's College London, Pers.comm 22.09.17)<\/p>\n\n
\n14) Possible vessel handle terminal. Although now incomplete, this would have had a circular cross-section; it is decorated with two protruding semicircles towards the terminal that would have been ears. Round handles with moulded animal terminals are seen on some pateras.<\/p>\n\n
\n15) One Twisted wire bracelet fragment<\/p>\n\n
\n16) One possible tweezers fragment<\/p>\n\n
\n17) Four chest\/box handles with a bead in the centre of the bar, square loop ends and acorn knop terminals, all four items are dissimilar enough to surmise they are from four different vessels.
\n\u2022 17a) One complete example retaining both loop terminals, this is only one sided with a concave reverse
\n\u2022 17b) One shorter handle that has a truncated terminal, therefore retaining the bar and one loop terminal
\n\u2022 17c) Two square loop terminals<\/p>\n\n
\n18) One furniture fragment of a leg and foot of a vessel, this has a hollow rectangular leg and an animal paw foot.<\/p>\n\n
\n19) 4th century D-shaped buckle with decorated sheet copper alloy plate<\/p>\n\n
\n20) Three domed sheet copper alloy items<\/p>\n\n
\n21) Two fragments of a bracelet in the form of a narrow strip<\/p>\n\n
\n22) Furniture fitting consisting of one large ovoid foot<\/p>\n\n
\n23) Ten bell shaped casket decoration mounts; weight 60.04g<\/p>\n\n
\n24) Twenty five cup\/bell shaped furniture studs, some are complete and retain the pin behind while others are fragmentary<\/p>\n\n
\n25) One disc shaped furniture fitting with raised rim<\/p>\n\n
\n26) Sheet copper alloy vessel, box and furniture fragments, all have been removed from their parent vessel and folded in order to reduce their size

\n\u2022 26b) Fifteen fragments of various sized thin strips of sheet copper alloy with a line of pellets running down each side. These would have formed banding on boxes. Some of the longer examples have been folded two, three or four times depending on their length; total weight 40.95g.
\n\u2022 26c) Nine fragments of undecorated thin copper alloy strips for boxes. As above, the longer examples have been folded several times to reduce their size; total weight 43.75g
\n\u2022 26d) Various sized large plates that have cut holes that may have formed lock plates, most have been folded to reduce size; total weight 104.57g.
\n\u2022 26e) Wide strip that has a thick band of solder running down either side, this item has been folded in two. 22.98g
\n\u2022 26f) Square plate with embossed dome that is flattened and folded in two 37.81g
