Abraded fragment of a Late Iron Age to Early Roman copper alloy terret with old breaks. Lewis 2015 Simple type. What remains of the apparently undecorated loop is very badly distorted.

Fragment of a Late Iron Age to Early Roman Roman copper alloy terret of Lewis 2015 Simple type, consisting of one collar between a small part of the loop and the strap bar which survives only as a stump, the breaks being old. The collar is circular but straightened on its inner edge. Around the curving edge a short length of shallow groove remains, the rest possibly removed by wear. The cross-section of the loop is round as it springs from the collar but before the break it becomes D-shaped with a flat inner face. The stu…

Broad period: IRON AGE
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Published
Fragment of an Iron Age to Roman copper-alloy terret. It is oval in cross-section, curved along its length (probably originally oval or circular) and terminating at both ends in a worn break. It expands very slightly in cross-sectional diameter from one end to the other. At the thicker end there is a triple-lipped moulding: three closely-spaced expanded disc-like ridges projecting outward and slightly laterally, diverging from each other at an acute angle. The central one is smaller and thinner than the flanking ones. An example of a similar and complete terret, albeit with only double…

The bow is reasonably flat in cross-section. It arches in a C-shaped profile and probably tapers in width from top to bottom. The lateral edges are heavily abraded and no more than half of one edge is original. Decoration begins with a narrow transverse groove and ridge immediately below the spring case. Then …

Object type: LINCH PIN
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Published
Fragment of a Late Iron Age to Early Roman rectangular-sectioned iron linch pin engaged with a copper alloy hoof-shaped foot terminal. The front of the hoof is imperfectly circular, its sides being flattened by wear thus interrupting an encircling moulded groove. For the cause of such wear see Spratling 1972, 59 and fig. 41. The main part of the front of the hoof is recessed and at its centre a round cell is filled with red enamel and lies within a spiral of very finely engraved lines forming two three-sided fields filled with pecked dots.

This molten droplet of heavy yellow metal was reported as possible Treasure, because it was found in the vicinity of other finds of molten gold/electrum which might be connected with the production of Iron Age gold torcs or other objects. It was sent to the British Museum for scientific analysis which demonstrated the droplet was made of copper alloy.
