Description: | Incomplete copper alloy miniature shield. The shield is flat, oval in plan, and has a raised pointed oval boss in the centre. There are four irregular circular holes near the boss, although these look more like damage than intentional rivet holes. The surface is undecorated.The shield is in a poor state of preservation. Parts of the perimeter are damaged and abraded.Miniature shields are difficult to date although they are thought to range from circa 400BC to the mid-late 1st century AD.
