AN Iron Age hoard found in a field in Rotherfield Peppard has now been bought.
A successful fundraising campaign led by the Friends of Oxfordshire Museum raised £11,725 to buy the collection.
The pieces include a horse brooch believed to be more than 2,000 years old which is currently undergoing conservation.
The hoard, which was discovered five years ago, will eventually go on display at the museum, which is run by Oxfordshire County Council and is free to visit.
The display will feature 3D-printed objects, allowing visitors to experience what it is like to hold one of these rare artefacts.
