    Published Romano-British Tinned Bronze Lion Brooch
    Circa 2nd century A.D.

    Sold for (Inc. bp): £286

    Acquired on the UK art market in the 1980s. From an East Anglian private collection.

    The lion brooch of flat metal in low relief shows remarkable uniformity of artistry, technique, workmanship and construction with Eagle and Hare brooches. Both categories can be dated to the 2nd century A.D. and both have typically Celtic craftsmanship within minimal simple lines. They were probably a product of Romano-British workmanship

  • Roman Fresco Wall Plaster Collection
    Roman Fresco Wall Plaster Collection
    1st century A.D.

    Sold for (Inc. bp): £221

    Fragments of wall plaster with rendered surface painted with mainly red, pale blue and white detailing; some with impression of timber laths to the reverse. 1.09 kg total, 8.8-11 cm



    Acquired in the 19th century. Ex Jeger collection, Switzerland. UK gallery, early 2000s.

    These small fragments, for analogies with the fragments of Pompeii, seem to belong to the second style of Roman painting, red panels representing highlight and shadow, decorated with vegetal interlaces. Some panels were probably framed by a red grenade fillet. A fragment shows alternate blue and red colour over a cream background, maybe pertinent to a socle.
