Description: | A Roman cast, copper-alloy elongated leaf-shaped (Crummy type 4) seal box dating from the 2nd to 3rd century AD. Only the lid survives. There is a worn circular pierced loop at the hinged end, and the opposing end has a small rounded knob. The upper surface has champleve enamel decoration. The design is comprised of a raised outline of a leaf (heart-shape) enclosing a central sprue. The edge of the lid is raised around the border on both the upper and lower surface, providing a recess. A small amount of enamel survives in the recesses. The enamel has degraded over time. The lid has an even mid brownish-green patina. This incomplete lid is similar to Crummy 1983, fig: 2523, p103.
