Description: | A copper-alloy, rhomboid shaped Roman seal box. The box is of hinged, two piece construction and is largely intact. The rhomboid shaped box lid has a raised outer edge with two circles in the centre of the field. The centre circles are filled with blue enamel and there are traces of red enamel in the field surrounding them. There is a lug on the underside of the lid that fits into a socket in the box section. Intriguingly, the wax seal is in situ but there is no discernable seal impression. The bottom section of the box is pierced by three fixing holes, and a small section of one corner has eroded away. The box section has open corners for the tying cord to pass through.
