Bottom of the Bowl, shomng the ar-rangement of the ornamental work, portions of which yet remain. B. Oneof the figures on the side, full size. C, D. Studs, also from the exterior ofthe Bowl, full size. Most of the ornaments bear traces of a dull red ena-mel. E. Metal ornament (of the actual size), found with the Bowl, butapparently belonging to some other object now lost. The graduated pat-tern arranged cross-wise somewhat resembling the steps and shaft of across, occurs in the higher class of the circular fibulae, and probably wascopied from the Byzantine coins, upon many of which a flight of stepssurmounted by a cross is of common occurrence.
