Bronze Age Gold from Wales
Iron Age / Roman shield
Fragmentary tapering cover for the midrib of a shield which was probably associated with the shield boss fragments under 63.419/7 & 8, rather than 63.419/1 & 2. It is uncertain whether this rib, together with the rib under 63.419/3, formed a single piece with a boss-cover or were separate.
