Lot 1133
Earlier Roman, copper-alloy zoomorphic plate brooch of the 'Dragonesque' type dating c. AD 75-175. A quintessentially British type showing the influence of Late Iron Age 'La Téne' art styles, the brooch is broadly 'S' shaped in plan. It consists two dragon-like animals with elongated, curved necks, exaggerated ears and upturned, knopped snouts conjoined at their middle. Each creature's eye is denoted by means of a raised round moulding, a similar moulding also being visible at the midpoint of the plate brooch where the two bodies join together. The reverse of the object is plain and slightly dished, the pin fittings eroded away. Preserved well otherwise, with a dark chocolatey brown patina. Relatively scarce. Length: c. 40mm. Discussion: a prime example of indigenous art styles influencing a characteristically 'Roman' brooch type, the evocative 'Dragonesques' are most commonly found in Yorkshire-where it is thought the type originated. Compare Hattatt (1989) fig. 210, nos. 1655, 1025, 1026 and 155. Provenance: ex A Smith collection.Reference: Hattatt, R. 1989. A Visual Catalogue of Richard Hattatt's Ancient Brooches. Oxford: Oxbow Books
Lot 1134
Roman, an incomplete copper-alloy plate brooch dating to the 1st or early 2nd century AD. The object is broadly cruciform in plan, consisting an open circular ring at its apex (with a central recessed cell) from which three sub-rectangular arms extend laterally and vertically. Each arm is plano-convex in section and demonstrates a small circular knop at its terminal, traces of a white metal coating suggesting secondary decoration that has now mostly eroded away. On the reverse face of the brooch, the double pin-lug and opposed catchplate are preserved, though the pin is missing. Length: c. 35mm.Discussion: no exact parallel for this brooch is to be found in Hattatt's (2000) publication, though plate brooches of other forms are generally ascribed a later 1st to 2nd century date. Reference: Hattatt, R., 2000 A Visual Catalogue of Richard Hattatt's Ancient Brooches Oxford: Oxbow BooksProvenance: found Kinsey, Buckinghamshire, 2016. Recorded on the PAS as BH-326356.
Lot 1137
Roman, a virtually complete cast copper-alloy and enamel disc brooch dating to the 2nd century AD. The brooch is circular in plan, its upper surface divided into six recessed triangular cells converging around a central hexagonal boss, each cell also possessing a raised circular boss at its midpoint. Enamel inlays survive reasonably well inside these cells, three red and the rest probably blue. On the reverse of the brooch, a double pin-lug retains its axis bar and part of the pin, opposing which on the opposite side of the brooch is an integrally cast catchplate. Condition: some corrosion, otherwise fair. Some damage to catchplate. Diameter: c. 22mm. Discussion: no exact match in Hattatt (1988) but compare broadly p. 344, fig. 203.Provenance: from the collection of a metal detectorist.Reference: Hattatt, R. 1988. A Visual Catalogue of Richard Hattatt's Ancient Brooches. Oxford: Oxbow Books.
Lot 1138
Roman, a copper-alloy bow brooch of Colchester Derivative 'Polden Hill' type, dating c. AD 43-120. This example is of impressive size, missing only its pin. It demonstrates a winged head with end-caps and decorative reeded collars on its front edge. The back face of the had still retains the spring and axis bar, one part of the latter threaded through a projecting lug and the pin missing in an old break. The bow curves strongly in section and is 'D' shaped in section, plain with the exception of its upper portion-which demonstrates a low crest decorated with a two parallel rows of circular dimples. The bow tapers towards its knopped terminal, the lower section coincident with an integral catchplate. The latter is triangular in plan, with a rolled back edge and three sub-rectangular decorative cutout sections at its midpoint. Scarce in this condition and state of completeness. Length: c. 67mm. Width across head: c. 47mm. Discussion: compare Hattatt (2012) fig. 159 for the general type, most similar to nos. 374 and 898.Reference: Hattatt, R. 2012. A Visual Catalogue of Richard Hattat's Ancient Brooches. Oxford: Oxbow Books.
Lot 1204
Modern, a complete copper-alloy ‘crotal’ type animal bell dating c. 1755-1798. This example is extremely large, being spherical in plan and demonstrating an integrally cast suspension loop at its apex. Through the latter, a fragment of iron chain is still present. The upper hemisphere of the bell has four circular sound-holes, between two of which is stamped the number ‘24’ (a reference to the bell’s size). The lower half is decorated with a repeating design of rounded petals which flank a rectangular slit. Either side of this-the initials ‘R W’ are visible, representing the foundry mark. The original pea remains in the sound chamber. Preserved in exceptional condition with an even brownish green patina. Diameter: 105mm. Height: 115mm. Discussion: ‘crotal’ bells were attached to animals as a way of tracking them across the landscape, an important task given the importance of droving in the 17th and 18th centuries-when these items were at their most prevalent. The vast majority of those discovered by detectorists are small, reflecting their wearing on the collars of smaller animals such as sheep or goats. The extreme size of this piece suggests it was worn by something larger, most likely a cow or bull. The foundry mark ‘R W’ refers to that owned by Robert Wells I or II in Aldbourne, Wiltshire. Provenance: found Bampton, Oxfordshire, 2015. Recorded on the PAS as BH-334C4E.
