Perhaps a fragment of a Roman Ligula 1st to 4th century AD. It was used for extracting ointment, balsams, and powders from tubes and boxes. The ligula is not, strictly speaking, a surgical instrument, although it was used by physicians for applying medicament to affected areas on the body. The object is bent over to a point before tapering, flattening and terminating. Possibly used by a surgeon or for mixing paint or cosmetics. Similar to LANCUM-BC7F31. The object could as an alternative be a later Medieval brooch pin. The diameter is 80mm, thickness 4mm and the weight is 8g.

There is a circular boss at the top of the bow. Below this the decoration starts and goes all the way to the foot. This consists of lozenge shaped hollows in which enamel would have been. All the enamel is now mis…

Broad period: ROMAN
County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast cu-alloy mount dating from the Roman period, i.e. c. AD43-410. The mount is dome-shaped and complete with an undecorated reverse and moulded, circular decoration on the obverse. It also has two small loops which are set opposite each other at the rim of the dome. However it is more likely that they were rivet holes rather than suspension loops, as this mount was probably worn as a belt or strap decoration.

Cast cu-alloy trumpet brooch dating from the early Roman period, i.e. c. AD75-175. Only the main part of the bow and the head remain; spring, pin rest and pin are missing. The surface of the brooch is very corroded, but the moulded reel-and-acanthus decoration is still visible. The brooch, however, did not bear any enamelled decoration like some of the more elaborate examples do.

Small vessel fragment probably dating from the Roman period, i.e. c. AD43-410. The vessel was made of skin-coloured earthenware.

Very small vessel fragment probably dating from the Roman or Medieval period, i.e. c. AD43-1500. The fragment is small and probably came off a simple bowl or food storage vessel. It was made from light orange/red-coloured earthenware and it was, in all likelyhood, not glazed which suggests a Roman date.
