Wiltshire Museum is asking for public donations to help conserve the vessels found in Wilcot, near Pewsey, and put them on display.

The vessels were likely nested inside each other using heather, bracken and sedge grasses as bubble wrap.

Although buried at the same time, the vessels are of different dates.

The largest vessel is a bronze bowl that was made in about 350 AD, so the hoard must have been hidden after this date. 

The smallest is a wine strainer, which was more than 200 years old when it was buried.
