Description

Iron fire-basket. Eighteen pieces of rod

whose restoration is made possible only by that of 219.f65 above

(a) three pieces of side-arms and (b) fifteen pieces of cross- struts also curved (two joining in each case); and one scrap. Since

on a rough calculation

each complete object of this form will have required c. 2 m. in total length of such cross-struts

it will be seen that the sum of these fragments and those preserved under 219.f47 and 219.f65 above could all have come from one piece.
