Broad period: ROMAN

Copper alloy brooch. Cast Colchester derivative or dolphin brooch, of an uncertain sub-type as it is now uncertain how a separate spring [probably of iron, and lost] had been retained.

County: North Lincolnshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Copper alloy and iron buckle. Cast D-shaped buckle frame of oval or lentoid section, with a narrowed round-section strap bar retaining an iron pin.

The display face bears the image of a face or mask with prominently arched brows, hollows to either side of a central nasal ridge as eyes, and with a luxuriant horizontal moustache; the forehead and chin, the latter perhaps bearded, are formed by the upper …
