The text panel accompanying the plate states:
PLATE X.
1. A CIRCULAR, cup-shaped gilt Fibula of Anglo-Saxon workmanship with a star ornament in relief upon it: the object beneath is a bronze ring found with it at Chavenage, in Gloucestershire.
2, 3 and 4. Three bronze Fibulae found at Hallstatt in Denmark; they are formed of double coils of bronze wire, which at the point where the coils divide has a double twist; on the centre of each coil is a small boss. These objects are evidently of an early period, and probably coeval with the Celtic ornaments represented in Plate V. Similar objects are represented in Worsaae's Catalogue of the Copenhagen Museum.
5. A beautifully fashioned Anglo-Saxon Spur of bronze, the extremities formed into horses' heads, into the open mouths of which the leather straps were fastened by stitches through the nostrils.
6. An Anglo-Saxon Clasp or Hook of iron, damascened with gold in minute zigzags, terminating in a lion's head.
The above are half the size of the originals and all are from the Collection of John Evans, Esq.
