476 Notes on other Objects in the Westbury Collection. 



flat tray llin. in diameter, with a rim fin. high, is shown in 

 Fig. 2, Plate IX. 



Two bronze saucepan-shaped vessels, of which the most perfect 

 is illustrated in Fig. 4, Plate IV., have bases ornamented with 

 sunk concentric circles. 1 There is another base and two handles of 

 similar vessels in the collection. 



A handle of a bronze vase ; part of a funnel ; three rough bronze 

 ornaments, one a female bust, the other two cockle shells, which 

 seem to have been intended to be attached to a bronze vessel of 

 some kind (Figs. 8 and 9, Plate V.); a small plain pennanular 

 brooch ; a nail cleaner (Fig. 7, Plate V.) ; a buckle (Fig. 6, Plate V.) ; 

 an ornament like a drop handle (Fig. 4, Plate V.) ; two finger rings, j 

 each with a setting for stone or enamel (Figs. 1 and 2, Plate I.) ; 

 two fibulae, one with hinge pin (Fig. 3, Plate I.), very much of the 

 " Aucissa " type, but without inscription ; the other (Fig. 4, Plate I.) 

 with hinge pin, T-shaped head, with a panel. on the bow chased 

 in lozenges for enamel, and a loop at the head. These, with a 

 few smaller fragments, complete the list of bronze objects in the 

 collection. 



Of iron, there are the double hook shown in Fig. 11, Plate V. ; 

 the meat knife or chopper " Culter " (Fig. 2, Plate II.) ; a sickle- I 

 shaped key of Late Celtic type ; the hoop iron of a bucket ; and I 

 the iron sheathing of a wooden spade (Fig. 3, Plate II.) 2 



A bead of amber of unusual size — l^in. in diameter), irregularly I 

 round and somewhat flattened, is shown in Fig. 5, Plate V. A well- I 

 made fluted bead of hard vitrified ware with traces of a blue enamel j 

 covering (Fig. 1, Plate V), and several spindle whorls, are in the | 

 collection. Of these last, Fig. 2, Plate V., is of flat stone, and | 

 Fig. 3, Plate V., of red earthenware carefully moulded. 



1 In the Proc. Soc. Ant. of Scot., 1904 — 5, p. 367, Dr. Joseph Anderson 

 describes a hoard of bronze things found in Berwickshire among which were J 

 four sauce-pan shaped vessels " paterae " like those in the Westbury \ 

 Collection. He then gives a list of recorded finds of similar vessels in 

 England and in Scotland, not very numerous in either case. 



- Precisely similar implements are in use in Japan and elsewhere at the 

 present day. Indeed they have been used on the water-meadows of South | 

 Wilts down to quite recent times. Examples, presumably of Norman date, j 

 have been found this year at Old Sarum.
