Description: | A corroded copper alloy enamelled stud of Roman date. It is circular in shape with a diameter of 17.05mm. The outer face of the stud is decorated with a central circle 4.55mm in diameter that has traces of red enamel. This is separated from a larger outer band of decoration by a small moulded copper alloy circle or wall. The outer band measures 4.23mm in width and has traces of a pale blue/green enamel, all contained within an outer copper alloy circle or wall that runs around the circumference of the stud. On the underside of the stud is a short integral shaft that terminates in an old break. The entire stud measures 17.05mm in diameter, 5.99mm in thickness (including shaft), and weighs 1.31g.
Similar circular and enamelled Roman studs were noted during excavation at Colchester, with parallels to this example seen in Crummy, 1983: pp. 118, nos. 3217-3221. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Brown, Andrew | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
