Description: | Romano-British round, socketed knob, probably from lid of vessel. The round socket narrows from the flaring base and has a patch of white material, probably fixative on its flat end. The exterior is offset before expanding to an overhanging rim around the upper surface, on which there is in the centre a round projection with concave top and a round rib around the edge. The two fields between the rim and rib, and rib and central projection, may have been inlaid with enamel, but now contain small areas of green and grey corrosion products. The underside of the rim is decorated with a broad tongue-and-dart moulding. The design of the top is reminiscent of so-called ??bell-shaped?? studs (Allason-Jones and Miket 1984, 238-3.238-935). No good parallel has been found. Top diameter 39mm. Base diameter 37mm. Depth of socket 25mm. Height 31mm. Weight 64.8g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bales, Ellen - Norfolk Museums and Archaeology Service | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
