Cast copper alloy pendant consisting of a central circular convex boss with a bifurcating terminal at the opposite end to the suspension loop which is on a perpendicular alignment. One arm of the terminal has broken off but the other one seems to be complete and would have not continued to curve around to form a fleur de lis. The pendant would have been suspended from a plate or frame which would have been attached to the leather strap or textile. Read (2016) illustrates similar pendants with circular convex bosses and bifurcated terminals on pp.61 & 63, nos.438 & 463, which are …

Treasure case 2012 T243: Acquired by Somerset Museums Description The object comprises a gold coin set within an iron mount. The coin was produced in central-southern Britain during the late Iron Age, probably between about 40 BC and 20 BC. Although little detail of the original design survives, it is an example of a coin-type known as 'British Qb'. These coins are traditionally ascribed to the Atrebates, a people thought to have lived in the Hampshire area in the Iron Age. In fact, find-spots now suggest that these coins may also have been produced further to the west in Gloucest…
