Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy unidentified object which may be Roman in date. This object consists of a circular terminal with the remains of sides projecting from one face. It is 17.5mm in diameter and 8.6mm in thickness The complete terminal has a recessed centre which may be a hollow and is filled with a white material which is likely to have acted as a cement to hold a stone or gem of some sort. Traces of this white material can be seen on the other face, it therefore seems likely that this object was originally hollow and this part of it filled with the white material. No parallel can be found for this object but the deep brown patination it has and the style seem to suggest a possible Roman date.
