Two thin rods of bronze. 160, bluntly 

 pointed at one end and flattened towards 

 the other, where is a slight sign of an eye, 

 seems to be a bodkin. 1 6 1 may be one also. 



Maiden Castle. 



A minute, imperfect ring, and a round 

 wide-headed nail. 



Maiden Castle, from the site of a Roman 

 House. 



Fragment of a small statue the breast. 

 4^in. by 4in. 



Maiden Castle. Same site. 



A very thin sheet of bronze yf in. by 3! in. 

 For about half its length it seems to have 

 been rectangular, and above it tapered 

 roughly to a point. It is much but coarsely 

 decorated in repousse or stamped work of 

 very rude art. The chief object is a figure, 

 apparently female, about 5 in. high, with 

 helmet, lance, and what may be the aegis 

 of Pallas. The figure stands in a rec- 

 tangle bounded by cable moulding. The 

 rest of the bronze is occupied by chevron- 

 like, broad shallow ornament, except on 

 the dexter side, where, imperfectly pre- 

 served, is what possibly may be a round 

 shield. It has been suggested that this 

 curious bronze may have been an ornament 

 of a standard.
