As a whole the fibulae bear a close resemblance to the Este and the 

 Bologna collections (this is quite natural), and to the Hallstatt types 

 — also to some of the Castellieri types (St Canzian and others). 1 Less 

 analogy is seen with French forms shown by Dechelette, Chantre, 

 and others, or with northern forms from Germany and Scandinavia. 



There are some specimens in the collection for which, thus far, 

 the author has found no exact analogies; the differences are, however, 

 not too great to account for by individual variation of fancy. 



SMALL OBJECTS OTHER THAN FIBULA 

 Plate II 



Fig. 2. — Fish-hook of bronze, barbed and with the upper part 

 flattened and roughened for suspension. 



Vide Montelius, Ser. B, pi. 2, 9, and Ser. B, pi. 3, 24; Forrer p. 245; Column 

 I, s.v. "Fischfang" ; v. Sacken, pi. xix, 18 (p. 90) ; Schlemm, p. 5, fig. b, 1 (Schlemm 

 does not mention Italy in speaking s.v. "Angelhaken von Metall"). 



Period, probably early. 



Length, 5 cm.

Fig. 3. — Needle of bronze with a long eyelet. 



Vide Montelius, Ser. B, pi. 91, 7; Forrer, p. 122, pi. 33, fig. 10; v. Sacken, pi. 

 xix, 14.

Fig. 4. — Awl of bronze. The instrument is double-pointed, one 

 point being circular in section, while the shaft and the other point 

 are square; this seems intended to secure a firmer insertion in some 

 handle. 



Vide Montelius, Ser. B, pi. 15, 7; Forrer, p. 433, pi. 1 10, 14 (hafted in bone). 

 Period, probably early, e.g., Copper age of the Lake-dwellers.
