Description: | Roman gold ear ring, 12mm in diameter, 10mm wide, 0.5mm thick with a weight of 0.92 grams. The earing consists of a rectangular sheet of gold which has a raised border at each side and one end. The surface is decorated with a herring bone stlye pattern which consists of three linear raised areas which is bisected with incised zig-zags. This pattern becomes squashed at the end with the raised border. In the centre of this is a small circular depression which shows through on the other side. The other end of the object has broken off leaving a slightly jagged edge. The object is in good condition with a good gold patina. | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Wendy Scott | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
