Extract

The so-called ‘Child's Grave’ from Colchester is a unique assemblage and particularly famous for a large and diverse group of rare Central Gaulish pipeclay figurines (PL. X). The burial also contained a wide range of other Roman objects, namely ten unguent flasks, twelve pottery vessels, a clay picture lamp, two glass vessels, a bronze vessel, numerous bone and iron fragments derived from a funerary couch, and thirty-four coins.
