Description: | Small Romano-British cu-alloy stud with enamel-decorated head. The stud has a ca. 15/16mm long shaft which tapers towards one end where it terminates in a sharp point. Its cross-section is circular towards the end and square towards the head. The head itself has two circluar moulding, seperating a central circular section from the outer rim section. While the centre-piece was filled with bright red enamel paste, the rim was coloured in blue. Most of the blue enamel is missing now.This find comes from a metal detectorist's 'rubbish box' and its original provenance is unknown. However, the finder assured me that it is a 'local find'. He kindly donated it to the Museum of Lancashire, Preston, for our artefacts handling collection.
