XXXVIII. Knocker. Fibulae. Celt. Spur.

1. Great Knocker on the door of Durham Cathedral. 2. Bronze Fibula about

3 in. diameter found in the Tyne. 3. Beautiful enamelled Fibula. The

original is a third larger than the engraving. It is of brass or bronze

thickly enamelled, and is an elegant adaptation of the form of a harp to

the purposes of a buckle. It was dug up at Risington, Northumberland,

1842. 4. Ancient bronze Celt. This form of weapon has been frequently

found, but the present example is decorated with a formal ornament, which

gives it a greater value. 5. A Spur found in a morass; it resembles the

earliest form in the collection at Goodrich Court, described as Norman by

Sir S. Meyrick.
