There are traces of blue enamel in the raised rectangular cells. The reverse is flat and plain with the catch plate with one small circular perforation. Length: 24. 35 mm, Width Max: 21.53 mm, Width Foot, 10.96 mm, Weight: 5.05 g. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
