Description: | A copper-alloy unidentified object, which appears to be a decorative fitting/knob of some kind. It is circular in shape, measuring 22.90mm in diameter, at its widest point and 13.67mm in thickness. The top face has a thickened rim and is concave, it has a central circular setting (7.82mm in diameter) of what is most likely to be a blue enamel, now worn, surrounding this there is a red enamel. The back face of this object tapers, to a flat base, measuring 17.44mm in diameter. In the centre of this flat base there is the remains of a square cross-section iron shaft, now very heavily corroded and only 5.91mm in length. No parallel could be found for this decorative knob, however, its style and enamel decoration imply that it is Roman in date, it could perhaps be a furniture fitting of some sort. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
