Description: | Cast copper alloy Roman stud. The head of the stud is formed from a circular disc 23.78mm in diameter and 1.76mm thick. The upper face is moulded with a slightly raised border and two further concentric raised rings, forming two slightly recessed bands and a recessed central dot. The outer band once held enamel, but this does not survive. Within this outer band are at least six ring and dots, formed from small circles of enamel, though these are now very worn. The enamel is of an indeterminate colour. The inner recessed band still holds a substantial amount of red enamel and is plain. The central dot may hold red enamel but is obscured by corrosion. The reverse of the stud head is plain. To the centre is an integral shank, 6.04mm long, which is sub square in section, short but slightly, tapered. Nothing of the original surface survives. Exposed surfaces are dark and light green. The object weighs 5.19g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McDonald, Caroline - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
