Description: | Roman (2nd to 3rd Century) cast copper alloy seal box lid. It is circular in plan with a projecting hinge with a semi-circular knop at the opposing end. There is a small central perforation surrounded by a depressed circle. This is bordered by 6 depressed circles, each with a deeper depression at the centre. These depressed areas may originally contained enamel, however there is no trace of this now ?? a small patch of powdery-blue can be seen in one of the outer circles, but it is uncertain whether this is the corroded remains of an enamel inlay. The lid is 29.94mm long, has a diameter of 21.35mm, is 1.68mm thick and weighs 2.9 grams. It has a dull mid-green patina and the surface is slightly worn and pitted. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McLean, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
