Object type: VESSEL
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: Suffolk
Workflow stage: Published
Cast copper-alloy vessel fitting in the form of a stylised bull's head incorporating a slot and right-angled flange designed to be fitted to a vessel rim. The neck extends in a long curving bow-like section behind the head, it is decorated on its front surface with two parallel grooves; the bow terminates in a rounded flange also for attachment. Stylistically the closest parallels come in the form of Late Iron-Age fire-stands such as that from Baldock, Herts.

Incomplete copper-alloy brooch, of Rosette type (leontomorphe or lion bow sub-group). Upper part only, missing pin. The spring is enclosed in an undecorated cylindrical spring case, curved around the spring.

Large and particularly beautiful La Téne I type brooch, complete except for pin and part of spring. Two (left) coils of the spring survive, originally wrapped around an iron axis bar which now only survives as corrosion. The presence of a separate axis bar hints that the brooch may originally have been of the 'mock-spring' type (see Hattatt 1987, no. 724) but as the head is incomplete this is uncertain. The use of iron is unusual. The bow arches upwards and swells to a section 5.5 mm wide by 3.5 mm thick. It is decorated with a broad longitudinal groove with small transverse nic…

Copper alloy brooch fragment. Upper half only, missing spring, pin, damaged spring cover, corroded, bent. The spring cover was cylindrical (as Rosette etc types), no surviving decoration. The flat D-section bow tapers and is then parallel-sided; it has a single cross rib 7mm above the break. Surviving width 26mm, surviving length 38mm. This is probably related to Hattatt's Lion bow derivative type (nos. 780-782) but the cross rib would normally be double and higher up the bow. Or it just might be an early threaded Rosette type with a rib behind the missing rosette plate?

Fragmentary copper-alloy object which may be a La Tene III brooch.
