Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy lid, from a small box, it is circular in shape with a diameter of 33mm. The top face has a circular knop in its centre and is decorated with two pairs of circumference grooves, one pair around the central knop and the other near to the edge of the lid. The surface has also been tinned and is silver in colour. On one side of the lid, below the rim part of a flat vertical protrusion, which would have fitted inside the vessel that the lid belonged to, is present. This protrusion is also tinned on its outer face and decorated with a circumference groove. The inside face of the lid is plain and undecorated. This lid is Roman in date and is similar to the lid of tubular copper-alloy boxes used as drug boxes and probe cases, but in its construction and detail it is not identical (R.Jackson 2003, pers.comm). | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 43
