OBJECTS FOUND OUTSIDE FORT L.K.

L.K. Fort. 04-5. Two stone arrow-heads; leaf-shaped. Dark grey and purple jasper. Well made. 04 slightly broken at point. Lengths 2⅛″ and 1⁹⁄₁₆″, gr. widths ⁹⁄₁₆″ and ⅜″.

L.K. Fort. 06. Glass bead, gilded; baluster shape of three bulbs. Length ½″, gr. diam. ⁵⁄₁₆″.

L.K. Fort. 07. Silver ear-ring, with traces of gilding, made in two parts joined by a copper loop. Lower and larger part is roughly sq. in shape (⁵⁄₁₆″), and consists of two thin pieces of silver sheet, moulded in ornamental design, then placed back to back, and joined (imperfectly) at edges.

Moulded orn. shows relief circle surrounding hollow-sided square with pierced centre; the segments enclosed between circle and square 'pecked', to contrast with the plain bands forming these latter. Above circle runs horizontal four-scalloped band with tree ends, and below a three-scalloped band of the same kind. Below again, along lower edge of each sheet, a row of small holes, from which hangs a series of 8-shaped wire loops carrying tassel of five wire rods, flattened and pierced to take wire at upper ends.

Upper part is the same except for tassel and attachment, and placing of four-scalloped band below circle and three-scalloped above; but it is also smaller and consists of single sheet only. To back of it, at bottom, is attached the large wire loop for suspension from ear. This carries first the small copper loop which attaches lower part of orn., then turns sharply upwards, and again down to form hook. Very good design and sharp impression. Wire apparently drawn. Excellent condition. Length without hook 1⅛″. Pl. XXIV.

L.K. Fort. 08. Object of white stone (?); triangular, slightly convex, drilled through centre. Sides 1⅜″, thickness ³⁄₁₆″. Pl. XXIV.
