Description: | Roman period copper alloy seal box, with lid which opens. The seal box is round, of Crummy's Type 2 (see reference).
The lid is decorated with three concentric circles, the inner two having been enamelled. The enamelling is in a state of some decay, although traces remain, especially in the second circle.
Two opposite grooves are cut into the main body of the box, in East-West positions, where the hinge is in the North position. The base of the box has three roughly commensurate holes, around 3mm each in diameter, at East, West and South positions.
Some corrosion on all surfaces. | 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: | 150
