This will be seen in Fig. 155, which was found with the palstave (Fig. 83), the socketed celt (Fig. 157), and other objects at Nettleham,[476] near Lincoln, as already described (page 93). Another of the same class is said to have been found in a tumulus on Frettenham Common,[477] Norfolk. Another, shown in Fig. 156, was in the Crofton Croker Collection. All these are now in the British Museum. The second celt from Nettleham (Fig. 157) shows only the indented outline without any representation of the oval plates. The nearest approach in form to these celts which I have met with is to be seen in some from the South of France. These are, however, generally without loops. I have two from the departments of Haute Loire and Isère. One from Ribiers, in the department of the Hautes Alpes, is in the museum at St. Omer. Another is in the museum at Metz. A socketed celt, found at Aninger, and now in the Antiken Cabinet at Vienna, has large oval plates on each of its sides, which nearly meet upon the faces. In the collection of the late Mr. Brackstone was a remarkable celt, exhibiting a modification of this form. It is said to have been found with a large socketed celt with three mouldings round the mouth, and a looped palstave with three ribs below the stop ridge, near Ulleskelf, Yorkshire. Mr. Brackstone printed a lithographic plate of the three, from which and from an engraving in the _Archæological Journal_[478] Fig. 158 is taken. It will be observed that this celt is elaborately ornamented, even on the ring, either by engraving or punching. The original is now in the Blackmore Museum at Salisbury. [Illustration: Fig. 155.—Nettleham. ½] [Illustration: Fig. 156.—Croker Collection. ½] [Illustration: Fig. 157.—Nettleham.] [Illustration: Fig. 158.—Ulleskelf. ½] A celt of closely allied character, with the lower part of the blade and the C-shaped flanches similar to that from Ulleskelf, with the exception of the chevron ornament, is said to have been also found in Yorkshire. A woodcut, from a drawing by M. Du Noyer, will be found in the _Archæological Journal_.[479] The upper part is rectangular and plain, without any moulding round the top, and there is no loop. The original is 6 inches long. In general appearance and character this celt approaches those of Etruscan and Italian origin; but I see no reason why it may not have been found, as stated, in Britain, though, so far as I know, it is unique of its kind.
