Description: | Incomplete, worn, cast copper alloy Roman stud or mount. The mount is circular in plan and flat in section. It has been cast with a slightly raised border, within which is an enamelled design. The design is now worn and abraded, but appears to have a central quatrefoil field, within which enamel was set, though no enamel survives. Surrounding this central design the remaining face of the mount is set with blue enamel, that survives well but is patchy. The edges of the mount are chipped and abraded. The reverse of the mount is plain. To the centre are the remains of the circular shaft, now severely truncated. The reverse is similarly worn and abraded. Where the original surface survives it has a mid green patina, otherwise the abraded areas show as light green. The mount has a diameter of 23.4mm, is 3.18mm thick and weighs 6.62g. Allason-Jones and Miket 1984, The Catalogue of Small Finds from South Shields Roman Fort, number 3.8, illustrate a similar mount, though with a different design. | 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
