| Object history | File of material relating to a La Tene openwork disc. Includes photocopy of information card with photocopy of image of object (date unspecified); Hunt Museum object comment sheet (10 July 1996) containing comments made about object by Lindsay Allason-Jones, Museum of Antiquities, University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. She states about object that it dates from the second century A.D. and that it is French. She refers to ‘geometric auxiliaries’ to support this opinion. Also, that object is a horse harness mount and that it has been heavily conserved; three black and white photographs (dates unspecified) of object. One photograph shows the object with tag attached. Number ‘555’ is written on the tag. Another document in the file (date unspecified) questions if this might be a sale tag; photocopy of this photograph also present; letter (date unspecified) from ‘K’ [possible initials are ‘KSP,’ recorded at top of letter], The Keeper, to ‘Rupert’ [possibly Rupert Bruce Mitford]. Writer thinks the disc dates from the second century or the first half of the third century. Refers to publications where object might be researched but writes that there is no recent comprehensive treatment of openwork metalwork. | ||||||||||||||||||||
