Description: | Rectangular fragment of copper alloy divided into a series of cells filled with enamel. Stylistically and contextually the fragment may be of Roman date. It is now unclear what artefact type the panel is from, but may be from a strap union or similar. The panel is divided into three zones of decoration, consisting of two side areas and a central area. The side areas have a series of five chevrons filled with blue enamel, while the central area has ten cells, with alternate cells filled with yellow enamel. It is unclear if the cells between the filled cells contained enamel or decoration. There is a white residue present in many of the voids, possibly suggesting they were filled with a less resilient substance. The fragment has broken at one end. On the reverse of the unbroken end is a low eroded lug, possibly for attachment. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
