Ex Lincolnshire collection; found at Beechamwell, Norfolk, UK, 2011. See Alfayé Villa, S. Nails for the Dead: A Polysemic Account of Ancient Funerary Practice, in Magical Practice in the Latin West. Papers from the International Conference Held at the University of Zaragoza 30 Sept - 1 Oct 2005, Leiden, 2010. The Greek (and later, Roman) practice of placing an iron nail in a funerary deposit has been discussed at some length in the scholarly literature. The nails are associated mainly with single cremations. They have been interpreted as talismans designed to protect the dead from the dangers of the journey to the Underworld. More recently, opinion has come to include the notion of the nail as a symbolic 'fixing point', a means of ensuring that the dead person could not return to the world of the living. Both ideas constitute a form of protective magic. [2] Fine condition; bronze vessel dented at base.

Ex Harvey collection; acquired by the owner's father during the 2nd World War in Palestine. Saint Menas, (285 - circa 309 AD), the martyr and wonder-worker, is one of the most well-known Egyptian saints in the East and the West, due to the many miracles that are attributed to his intercession and prayers. Menas was an Egyptian soldier in the Roman army, martyred because he refused to recant his Christian faith. His feast day is celebrated every year on November 24 in the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria. Although Menas is recognized as a minor saint in the Western churches, it is considered likely by many historians that he is celebrated in these churches under the name of Saint Christopher (i.e. the Christ-bearer), as one of the legends associated with Menas has him, like Christopher, carrying the Christ-Child.
