Object type: MINIATURE OBJECT
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete cast copper alloy miniature object of Roman date and in excellent condition. The object takes the form two co-joined cornucopiae, the upper terminals moulded with grapes and acorns spilling out over the edges of the measures. The object is crescentic in profile with no sign of any mount or fixing, which suggests this is an object in its own right and may have had votive / religious significance. Findind parallels for stand-alone double cornucopiae has been difficult although I am grateful to Martin Henig (University of Oxford) for pointing out a statue in the British Museum…

Object type: KEY (LOCKING)
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Incomplete medieval copper alloy key dating to the period c. c. AD 1300 - 1450. The bow is in the form of an openwork quatrefoil with a moulded circumferential collar at the junction between bow and shank. The shank is cylindrical and hollow, the interior now filled with earth and corrosion product. The channel expands into an incomplete bit, the surviving section comprising four wards arranged in two opposing pairs. It terminates in an old break. Ward Perkins (1940) considered a hollow shank to be indicative of a casket or chest key (Egan 1998, p.111).
