Incomplete probable harness ring. The object consists of an solid oval-sectioned iron ring with bronze casing, which has split as the iron has expanded due to corrosion. This splitting is visible along the internal and external line of the ring, which obscures the details regarding whether the copper alloy casing was U-shaped and hammered round, or a complete cylinder. The external surface of the bronze casing is decorated with transverse ribbing. The object is similar to a simple terret ring found with two other probable harness rings and two terret rings in a context dating to circa…

Incomplete copper alloy vessel spout. The spout is zoomorphic and in the form of an Ox head. The head is smooth, undecorated and slightly pitted. From the forehead sweep two circular sectioned horns, one complete and the other incomplete. The complete horn curves upwards and forwards into a semi-circle, slightly tapering until it meets a bulbous terminal. This bulbous feature may be representing a horn cap, thus indicating their use on the horns of live animals. The other horn begins as the complete one does, however a short way along it suffered some damage in antiquity and now …
