From the Backworth Hoard. On loan from the British Museum, at Segedunum Roman Fort, Wallsend, North East England.

The silver pan was probably the container for most of the objects of the Backworth Hoard. The decorated handle has a gold-inlaid inscription in Latin reading MATR.FAB DVBIT, signifying that it was a gift from Fabius Dubitatus to the Mothers (Mother godesses). From the Backworth Hoard.

A hoard of gold and silver objects was found in 1812, supposedly near Backworth in North East England. The hoard consisted of a silver skillet in which were a pair of silver-gilt trumpet brooches, one silver and five gold rings, one gold bracelet, two gold chains with wheel-shaped pendant, and a crescent attached, three silver spoons, another silver skillet, 280+ Roman denarii, and two first brass coins of Antoninus Pius. A white bronze mirror had served as a cover. The date of deposition is thought likely to be AD140. The larger skillet and one of the gold rings each have an inscription, a dedication to the mother-goddesses. These inscriptions indicate that the treasure was probably a votive deposit at a shrine of the Mother-goddesses near the eastern end of Hadrian's Wall.
