Fetching coin data
The extent of the deposit and the presence of corroded iron fittings indicate that the valuables were packed inside a wooden box measuring some 60 x 45 x 30 cm. Small box-fittings in silver, namely two padlocks, a hinge, several angle-brackets and decorative rosette-shaped studs, plus about 150 pieces of bone inlay, all testify to the presence of smaller caskets within the outer chest. There are fragments from a carved pyxis of bone or ivory, and minute fragments of woven textile have also been preserved. A carefully packed and stacked set of five plain silver bowls bore traces not only of cloth but also of organic padding between the vessels, probably hay.
6 gold necklaces, 3 rings, and one elaborate chain ornament
19 gold bracelets
12 silver vessels: tiger handle, vases, piperatoria, and bowls
20 silver ladles
ligulae, cochlearia, transverse ligulae. The name Aurelius Ursicinus is found no fewer than ten times, engraved and picked out in black niello on a matching set of ten spoons, five ligulae and five cochlearia. This raises a strong possibility that the whole hoard may have belonged to him.
4 silver strainer-funnel and strainers
9 toilet utensils (toothpicks, ear-scoops etc.)
16 silver box-fittings (locks, mounts/brackets, hinge)
15 miscellaneous silver objects (rosette studs, mount, hemispheres)
156 objects of organic material (ivory box, bone inlay pieces, wooden fittings)
48 iron nails and bindings
2 wood/metal fragments (?from large chest)
