Description: | Roman copper alloy seal box lid, 22mm long, 22mm wide and 3mm thick. The object is in fair condition with a brown patina and weighs 2.68 grams. The box is incomplete, with perhaps half remaining. It appears to be pear shaped and the fragment consists of a circular edge with enamel cells in its surface. There is a centrally placed circle and dot which has traces of white enamel fill. Flanking this are two curving cells, almost crescent shaped, which are filled with red enamel. The surrounding area seems to have been filled with blue enamel but between the centre and its catch there is a further metal dot which is flanked with an area of yellow enamel. The catch is imcomplete, with a sub triangular form and is 4mm long. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Scott, Wendy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
