Description: | An almost complete copper-alloy panel originating from a little roman hexagonal vase, which tapers from top to bottom. The panels were rivetted together by their flanges. There is a near complete vase, (of unknown provenance) in the Rheinisches Landesmuseum, Bonn, and panel fragments include one from Silchester (R. Jackson 2003, pers.comm). The panel is rectangular in shape but flaring out towards the terminal end, measuring 43mm in length and 32mm in width at its widest point. It has raised flanges protruding from both of the long edges of the front face at an angle of about 45 degrees, these flanges are 3mm in height and run for the entire length of the panel. At 13mm from the wider end of the panel the flanges had rivets on their back face, one rivet survives. The front face of the panel is decorated with an incised pattern inlaid with blue enamel. This pattern consists of a central oval-shape with pairs of scroll-shaped spirals above, below and inside it. The back face is flat and undecorated.
