Pieces of Roman bronze vessels.  They are common in funerary contexts.

The two left-most items are different forms of patera handles.  The flat one with a hole in it is later than the thick round cross-section one.  That thick type sometimes ended with the head of a ram or wolf, other times just a point.

You then have pieces of the walls and rims of the bowls or pateras themselves.  The last piece look like the melted remains of the top (mouth) or perhaps bottom of some sort of vessel.

Though common in Rome these items were also highly valued by non-Roman and are found in burials from Scandinavia to Ukraine.

I love these items which are generally under appreciated, under-reported and under-studied.

The fibula is a two-pin variant (one pin is missing) of the Alesia type and was found in the NW Balkans.  It is a larger type ultimately descended from the Roman Aucissa type - though that example does look to be extra-large.
