A fragment of a copper-alloy object, possibly a vessel handle or pierced miniature spear dating to the Roman period. The object comprises the remains of a flat, circular end plate with circular perforation. Only half remains. The end-plate extends to a circular-section stem which is bent. The other end of the stem appears to be broken. The object measures 162mm in length. The end plate has a width of 12mm. The stem has a diameter of 4mm. It weighs 12g. The stem of the object is very long leading to the suspicion that this is a pierced votive miniature spear rather than a spoon.

An incomplete copper-alloy openwork decorative fitting dating to the second or third centuries AD. The mount comprises a flat oval plate decorated with three spirals of openwork decoration.
