 402 PROCEEDINGS AT MEETINGS OF mounting of the haft of a dagger or knife (see wood-cut, fig. 1) a stylus, and bow-shaped fibula, all, apparently, of Eomano-British times. A small figure of a satyr. Also an object of bronze, seemingly, part of the head of Fig. 2. Fig. I. Scale, half original size. a spear, or hunting staff, an iron blade having been attached to it ; it is sin- gularly ornamented, but the age may be doubtful. (See wood-cut, fig. 2.) This, with a boss of mixed metal, probably for harness, of cinque-cento design, was found on Severus's Hills, outside the city walls at York. Mr. Wardell sent also a vessel of mixed metal, or bronze, of elegant form, inlaid with bands of silver, or some white metal; it was recently brought with two others, from the Mediterranean, and is doubtless of oriental workmanship. Mr. William W. E. Wynne, of Sion, Oswestry, communicated a notice of a curious corona Incis, or chandelier, in the Church of Llanarmon in Yale, Denbighshire. Its age may probably be assigned to the Perpendicular Period, and it is said to have been brought from the Abbey of Valle Crucis, in the same country. In the centre, which is hexagonal, stands the Virgin, crowned, under a canopy of the same form. At each angle of the latter, is a buttress, pierced with a trefoiled arch, and terminating in a crocketed pinnacle. Each face of the canopy has a depressed ogee arch, not foliated, and over the arches are pyramidal canopies. From the buttresses issue four tiers of branches for lights, from which branch numerous sprigs of foliage. The nozzles for candles have some appearance of being modern. The bottom is a reversed hexagonal and crocketed pyramid, with a ring for the purpose of raising and lowering the corona. The figure of the infant Saviour is lost, but in other respects, this interesting object is nearly perfect. In the same church, there is a curious tomb, upon which lies the effigy of a warrior, — Griffith ap Llewelyn, ap Ynyr, about the time of Edward III., in very good preservation ; and there is another efiigy, probably an ecclesiastic.
