Record ID: NMS-35C242
Object type: WIRE
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Published
A piece of gold wire made from four strands twisted.
The wire was made from 4 smaller wires (diameter c. 2.4 mm) twisted together in a clockwise spiral giving an overall diameter for the twisted wire of 5 mm. The wire piece weighs 7.24g and is 20mm long (unstraightened). The fragment appears to have been cut from a larger piece of wire at one end, although the other end appears to be a break. Analysis shows these wires are made of over 80% gold.

Cast-in-one Iron Age copper alloy vessel mount in the form of a bull's head in the round with horns curving slightly backwards and inwards, exaggeratedly high brow ridge, lentoid eyes (one obscured by corrosion) and very deep nostrils. The triangular section neck meets a flat reverse before returning to the rear of the muzzle and then continuing down to a break as a backwards curving bar with a median moulded groove. There is no evidence for attachment. Length 42mm. Width 13mm.
Although this bears some resemblance to bull's head mounts from vessels other than buckets found at Henley an…

This cast model of a bovine head has two small ears situated beneath two curved horns(one of which is broken). Its eyes are represented by two circular perforations. The nose is rather elongated and has an attachment loop at its end. The loop is decorated with a number of incised lines located around its circumference. There is another much larger loop sprouting from the top of the animal's head. Other than the incised lines on the lower loop, this piece is undecorated giving it a very 'clean' quality, a sense that is heightened by its symmetry. Objects such as this were mounted on ve…

Romano-British cast copper-alloy mount, in the form of a bird, probably a duck, in the round. An integral rivet on flat underside suggests the object was attached to leather. The beak tapers to a rounded (slightly damaged) point in a rather un-duck-like manner. Four pairs of oblique, apparently moulded, grooves on the back represent feathers in a very stylised manner. The upturned tail has received a little recent damage. This is a much more sophisticated version of a possible duck from Colchester (Crummy 1983, no.4268). Ducks and other water-birds “perhaps belong to a Celtic water-c…

Nine sherds of pottery were recovered from which it was possible to reconstruct the container (ibid., 219-20), a wheel-made concave-sided cup or bowl, in a fabric "typical of local early Roman native wares, being a romanised version of the standard (sandy) Iron Age fabric" (ibid., 220), and dating probably to the mid-first century AD. The textile which survived was made in a simple tabby weave from vegetable fibre – possibly flax or hemp – with a loose Z-spun warp thread and probably covered the mouth of the pot (Liu and Crowfoot 1991).

De Jersey (2015) writes: "The vessel containing the hoard is described in detail by Clarke (1956, 2). It is an "ovoid butt-beaker in brown ware decorated with horizontal cordons framing faint vertical combings. The form is derived from a Gallo-Belgic original and local copies in this and similar wares have been found in quantity at Camulodunum where Form 112 C2 [Hawkes and Hull 1947, pl. lvii] is analogous", and where it is dated to c. AD 10-61. Jane Timby (pers. comm.) has suggested a date between c.AD 40 and 60/65".

Late Iron Age - early Roman copper alloy zoomorphic spout from a strainer bowl dating to the period c. AD 25 - 100. It comprises a concavo-convex D-shaped plate with the spout projecting from the centre. The spout is in the form of an animal head, probably a dog or bear. It has short pointed ears sitting on either side of the head and prominent moulded brows, the eyes indicated by two punched annulets. The snout terminates in a blunt nose, the lower jaw extending outwards and down to form the oval spout. The animal's fur is indicated by a series of moulded wavy lines. A series of moul…
