A strap mount cast from copper alloy. The mount has a light green patina and shows areas on both the front and reverse of corrosion and pitting. On the front there are traces of a silvering or tinning, but this has been severly abraided and is now only visible in places. The mount is broadly of a sub-elongated triangle in plan. The edges have been abraided and rounded in the plough-soil causing the mount to become a-symetrical. The end tip of the mount (the tip of the triangle) is lentoid in plan, flaring then narrowing to a small shoulder, the body then flares again…

Roman copper alloy bow brooch of unusual design, probably a derivative of a Headstud type and dating to the early 2nd century AD. The brooch employed a spring mechanism secured by lateral lugs at the end of very short wings, which would not have protruded much beyond the head. At the head is the remnant of a flat plate, possibly from a chain loop. The head is comparatively long and has a sub-rectangular section. The only decoration on the head is a short rectangular cast rib and a moulded oval at the junction with the bow, in place of the headstud. The Bow is at a right angle to the he…

Roman copper alloy Claudian as, contemporary copy. Excellent example of how barbarous these imitations can be. Robert Kenyon, following on from the work by the French scholars P-A. Besombes and M. Bompaire (in Trésors Monétaires XXI, 2005), is working through the British examples of Claudian coinage recorded through the PAS assigning many so-called Claudian contemporary copies to Roman auxiliary mints which operated at Lyons (Gaul) and in Spain. This example is a native copy.

Copper-alloy press-moulded object, possibly dating to the late 18th or early 19th century. The surface of the object is curved and depicts two greyhound dogs, one standing up behind, and another lying down in front. Both appear to be on some sort of bed or sledge. The background is decorated with intricate swirls. The back of the object is filled with a type of mortar, making it relatively heavy, but this is probably something which has become attached to the object at a later date rather than serving an original function. The object may have been burnt. It is possible that the o…

On two opposing faces there is a large circular central perforation, it is unclear as to whether this goes all the way through the die but it would seem likely that this is the case and the hole has filled up after deposition. This larger perforation forms the central dot for the number five face of the die but forms an addition in the centre of the opposing sid…
