Copper alloy brooch fragment. Dragonesque brooch, Mackreth type DRAG 3b. A comma shaped casting tapered to either end with two rows of triangular enamel-filled cells of a dull red and a [now] pale green tint, alternating tints being accompanied by alternating orientation of the triangles.

A fragment of a copper-alloy Roman finger ring. Only the shoulders and bezel of the ring survive intact, the remainder missing due to old breaks.
