Description: | Roman copper alloy circular enamel stud with integral shank, 17.7mm in diameter and standing 18.2mm high. It weighs 4.3g.
The face is 2.7mm thick and decorated with a concentric ring (set with blue enamel, only a little of which is missing) around a central circle (with traces of red enamel).
The shank is square in section behind the face (4.7x4.7mm) but narrows in thickness (and alos width) to 3.2x1.9mm before the point.
The decoration, similar to enamelled plate brooches, can be presumably dated from the second century onwards. The spike would have been set into leather and the length of the shank is significant to the thickness of this. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Hinds, Katie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
