Description: | A copper-alloy seal box lid, this lid is flat, lozenge shaped and almost complete, 23mm in length and 18mm in width, one corner is missing due to an old break. One corner has a worn knop which is probably the remains of the hinge loop. The lid has vertical sides, which are now worn and are 2mm in depth. The top face is decorated with a cross-hatch or lozengiform design, the remains of enamel can be seen in each lozenge. Most of the lozenges have traces of blue enamel within them, however, five lozenges, which form the corners and centre point of a central cross-shape, are red/orange in colour. The underside is undecorated. This seal box lid is roman in date.
