Br. 127. 



Somerletgh Court, Dorchester. 



This seems certainly to have been a 

 brooch like 126, but it is now without a 

 pin. It is also rather larger, being lAin. 

 across. 



N.B. Br. 96 in case xvi. is catalogued 

 with the rings, but almost certainly should 

 be included among the brooches. So 

 possibly should Br. 103 in the same case, 

 although not penannular. In that case 

 there is an annular silver brooch or buckle, 

 which seems to be Roman. Whether 

 these completely annular contrivances were 

 buckles or brooches, *>., whether they 

 were meant to fasten straps, or two 

 portions of a dress, is difficult to decide.

A plain harp-shaped fibula with the

Dorchester. 



A good specimen, harp-shaped, but of 

 rather remarkably bold curves both of 

 fibula and pin. The fastening of the pin 

 is without twisting. The fibula is of bold 

 design. At the extreme end the hinge
