Weight of the preserved fragments (including handle): 467 g; handle weight: 139 g; base diameter: 8.4 cm; body maximum diameter: 13.8 cm; reconstituted height: ca. 25 cm; rim diameter (reconstructed): ca. 9 cm; MJIAP inv. 34‑72776. The jug was fashioned from a turned bronze sheet, as indicated by the concentric circles visible on its bottom fragment found. The handle, also made of bronze, was cast and subsequently fixed. The body of the jug proper was seriously damaged, broken, bent in, deformed, and corroded: only the belly, part of its neck, two tiny fragments of the lip, and the bottom have been retrieved. Initially, the jug had a double tapering, streamlined belly, and a tall, slender neck. The upper part of the neck flared considerably but the lip was slightly turned in. The lip inclination is indicated by the form of the handle plate. The handle consists of a horizontal upper plate that continues with a vertical stem having a circular crossection; it runs down and terminates in a decorative human foot lower plate. On top of the horizontal upper plate, a vegetal motif (a water‑plant leaf) protrudes very visibly, being flanked by indentations. Right over its lower plate, the stem of the handle has an excrescence resembling a spur. The traces of welding the human foot lower plate to the jug are observable on the wall 0.5 cm over the streamline. Tassinari “Western type”/ type II
Pendant made of silver folded sheet with three coins fixed by rivets: denarii of Antoninus Pius
Silver brooch: Almgren 157 type Fibula; length: 6.1 cm; thickness of the bow: 0.35/0.33 cm; maximum width of the foot: 0.7 cm; length of the pin: 5.4 cm; total weight: 8.93 g The pin and the spring made of silver wire. The bow with an octagonal cross section and a flattened foot made of silver. The iron axis of the spring which has got lost. Traces of iron oxides are still visible inside the spring. In its initial state, the spring chord was placed underneath the bow. The foot consists of a slender isosceles trapezoid‑shaped plate with lateral faceting sides. In its upper part, the foot is decorated with two small lateral concavities and two horizontal incisions. The extremity of the foot is twisted around the bow in five turns. The form of the foot and the way the chord goes under the bow correspond to the Almgren 157 type fibulae41. The uninterrupted transition from the bow to the foot, together with the way the spring axis is fixed to the bow through a bent band are characteristics of the “Sarmatic” type of tendril fibulae
