The accompanying illustrations represent iron antiquities which have been treated by Blell’s method: the sword (Fig. [25]) proved, after reduction, from its two ridges to be a scramasax; on the spear-head (Fig. [26]) treatment revealed a small copper ring at the most constricted part, while the fibula, which previously had been a mass of rust, now shows the spiral which had been totally disguised.
