@caitlinrgreen Gorgeous pieces. I love those, ever since publishing the one from Corbridge.
@BirgittaHoffman Oh! I was looking for a pic of the Corbridge one last night! Beautiful objects; one from London now too :)

@BirgittaHoffman Ah! Yes, I could only find the line drawing---that's a shame it proved so, but even drawn it is still impressive!
do you have more pics of this
Only black and white, alas
When it feels like Christmas for history lovers ooooooohhhhh! PeWie (my son rendition of pretty when aged 18m) I concur peWie
Hah! It really is a wonderful survival, isn't it! :)
What's the evidence that it's Romano-British? The old Soviet catalogue doesn't say it is
No, but subsequently shown to be so :) See follow-up posts & blog references for more incl numerous British examples etc :)
