Description: | Cu alloy seal box lid, possibly Roman in date. The lid is oval in shape with 2 circular attachments, one at each end, which are the hinge and catch parts. It is decorated on the top and plain on the interior side. The top surface is decorated and has some traces of blue and possibly white enamel remaining. There is a central circular boss which has a concave diamond inside. This is surrounded by 7 hollow circles which could have been filled with enamel. The catch is present on the back but the hinge end is broken where the actual box part would have been attatched. See South Shields catalogue and compare to photograph of a similar item.
