Fragment of Roman silver spoon with oval bowl and short 'rat tail' on the underside; the bowl is broken, incomplete and distorted. The handle is square sectioned and broken about one-third along the shaft above the offset, with the remainder slightly twisted and bent. The offset is in the form of an open scroll. In the bowl are the remains of a punched ligatured inscription 'VIV[A]S' ('may you live'); the 'A' is very hard to discern. The inscription would have begun with a name, but this is no longer visible. Discussion: such spoons are a well known late Roman type. There are good …

Description: A complete silver Early-Medieval hooked tag with a circular plate and two protruding pierced lobes for attachment. The edge of the plate is decorated with a border of pellets made from a groove within multiple transverse lines; the effect is of a ladder pattern or rope pattern.

The crossing diagonal lines create a central lozenge-shaped field and six surrounding smaller sub-triangular fields…

Fragment of narrow copper-alloy bracelet. Although both ends are broken, the curve of the bracelet is still obvious. It is decorated with continuous, slightly oblique, ribbing made up of quite broad grooves which reach right to the edges of the bracelet. The edges are not straight and parallel, but wiggle as if the more fragile edges of the grooves have become more worn than the more robust edges of the ridges. Flat cross-section. Quite corroded, with some parts of the surface missing. Maximum width 5 mm; uncurled length of fragment, 53 mm. Weight 2.12g. Roman, late third or fourth ce…

A fragmentary Roman spoon made from copper alloy with a white-metal coating and dating to the second or third centuries AD. The bowl must originally have been oval, but the far end is now torn away and too damaged to reconstruct its precise original shape. The handle is also incomplete, but appears to gently change from a circular cross-section to a tall rectangular cross-section; it then expands to a curve below, with a circular perforation, and an upper part decorated with V-shaped ribbing. The curved part then extends forward to attach to the back of the bowl in a long tail. Cru…

Late Iron Age to early Roman brooch of Nauheim derivative type, made from a flat strip of copper alloy. At one end the strip has been wound into a spring; the chord passes under the bow and is then broken, so that the other half of the spring and the pin are missing. The surviving spring half has two turns and then widens into a bow 5 mm wide, which is decorated with a border groove down each edge. The bow gently tapers again, but the very end of the bow and the catchplate are missing (fresh breaks). Despite being small and flimsy, the brooch seems to be well made. 1st century BC to…
