Description: | A complete copper-alloy Roman lozenge-shaped seal box lid. Measuring 28mm by 21mm in size. The four corners of the lozenge shape have knops projecting from them, now worn, these knops would probably have originally have fitted into mirror image notches in the base half of the seal box. The front face of the lid is decorated with cross-hatching creating lozenge-shaped cells, which contain enamel. The three central lozenge-shaped cells contain yellow enamel and the surrounding ones a bluish/green enamel which is missing from some cells and paritially survives in others. The sides of this lid survive, and are at right angles to the lid.
Similar lozenge-shaped seal box lids have been discovered elsewhere in Twinstead, Essex (see SF-EBA7D1), Hatcheston, Suffolk (see finds report fig 93, no 225, unpublished) and Charsfield, Suffolk (see Suffolk SMR CHA 011). | 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
