Description: | A copper alloy stud in the shape of a flower, probably Roman in date. The stud consists of a flat circular plate with hemispherical cells, representing petals, extending around its circumference. Two opposing hemispherical cells are filled with orange enamel. One further cell is filled with off white enamel. The other cells are either too worn or appear to contain the remains of some substance although too degraded to determine its colour. The circular plate also has a small central circular cell. This also contains orange enamel. The underside of the plate is plain. A rectangular section shaft extends from the underside. The shaft is only 3mm in length and its end is worn suggesting it was broken some time in antiquity. The diameter of the stud is 20mm.
